And another language-learning app Busuu in London saw a similar trend (趋势).
3 Colin Watkins from Duo lingo said, “For the UK learners, people are learning because of culture, family, school and travel. What’s more, everyone wants a good use of time, and we want to do something meaningful on our phone, like learning a new language.”
Certainly, becoming a person who can speak some other languages is a good thing for improvement. 4

Identical twins (twins with the same gene set) were similar. This shows genes can influence people’s anxiety over math.
19 It could bring the same feeling as being hurt in the body. This anxiety means that children will not want to practice math as much as they should. Then, they become even worse at math. It only adds to their anxiety about it.
But if you’re bad at math, don’t just look at your parents. Math anxiety is rare (罕见的)—genetic reasons explained about 40%. 20 So in life, it’s important to know how to deal with math anxiety.
