In language learning, attitude can be a key factor in how a student progresses.

学习语言，态度是决定学习者进步程度的关键因素。

Linguists studied attitude in language learning in the 1970s in Quebec, Canada, when tensionwas high between Anglo- and Francophones. The study found that Anglophones holdingprejudices against French Canadians often did poorly in French language learning, even afterstudying French for years as a mandatory school subject.
