So number one, an interest in other cultures.
首先，是对其他文化的兴趣。
When you're interested in other cultures, this gives you a reason.

If you have a real interest, a genuine interest in other cultures and specifically,

the culture that speaks the language that you're learning, in your case, English.

So perhaps it's American culture, Canadian culture, Australian culture, British culture, whatever.
也许这就是美国文化、加拿大文化、澳大利亚文化、英国文化……总之，就是某种特定的文化罢了。

And it makes it easier, I think.
我认为，这样做会让事情变得更加简单。
It makes you have less resistance when you encounter differences.
当你遇到分歧时，这种心态会让你产生的抵触情绪变得更少。
When you see that the language that you're learning, English, for example,
当你发现自己正在学习的语言（比如英语）时……
has these linguistic differences that you don't quite understand for a lot of people,
这些语言上的差异让很多人感到困惑（或：难以理解）。
that can make it hard for them to continue on with their language learning.
这可能会让他们难以继续学习语言。
