My language learning history

I'll talk about my language learning history. I have studied English, French, Chinese. I like learning language.

First I'll talk about English. I started studying English when I was 10 years old. The reason why I started studying English was influence of my brother and friends. My brother went to juku school, and I often went to see him. He looked enjoying study. I became interested in English when I saw him. My friends also studied there, and they asked me to juku! I was so glad, and I decided to study English. This was my first experience to learn foreign language. I liked English very much, and of course I like English now. In junior high school and high school, I studied English hard. I watched CNN news to get listening skill. I wrote many English word to learn vocabulary. Also I talked with Assistant Language Teacher. It was so fun to talk with ALT. I thought that it was important to talk with native speaker. In the university, way to study English was changed. I studied English by native speaker, and I studied economic English. I spoke English more than before. Also I wrote, read, and listening English more. I enjoy studying English now!

Next, I started study French when I entered the university. I chose French as second language because I was interested in France. I longed for France! French was difficult to learn than English because there were neutral words. And also it was difficult to pronounce. However learning French was so interesting for me. I often studied French by listening CD. My mother liked listening French CD too, so I sometimes studied French with her. Now I don't study French, but I hope that I study French again.

Lastly, I have studied Chinese. I studied Chinese because I thought that it was most useful language than other language. Chinese was written by 'kanji', so it was easy a little to expect meaning. However I couldn't learn how to read! Chinese was difficult in accent. Chinese has 'pinyin.' Pinyin is the Roman alphabet that show how to read the word. I couldn't learn Chinese well. However I thought it was good to know about many things, for example pinyin.

Learning language is so fun! If I learn language, my world become wide. Now I learn English. English is a special language for me. By studying English, I also learn pleasure of studying language. I want to study more variety languages!! And I want to learn Of course to study language in the classroom is also important, however it is more important to speak this language and communicate with native speaker. I hope that I can communicate with many person from another country.
