Don't get stuck if you don't know a word.

When learning a new language you need to be brave when talking and willing to get your point across by using what you know. Today I didn't know how to say "octopus" in Chinese, so I said "That animal in the sea with a squishy squishy skin and eight legs" they understood immediately, we all giggled, they told me the right word and we continued our conversation. ~ have patience and never give up!
