Essay 2-03a: language learning stories

I want to write about my language learning stories. I have studied four languages. These are English, Chinese, French and Korean. It is very difficult to study languages but I can know the country's many things. So, I will write detail of my language learning stories.


First, I want to write about English. When I was elementary school, I studied English first time in "Kumon". From then, I am interested in English. And I thought that I want to use English in my future job. So, I choosed Hitsuyukan high school because threre is international course in the high school. In there, we could study English more hard. And I went to Australia when I was secound grade. In there, I had to use English all the day. It's very difficult for me to comunicate with people by English. In there, I knew that I don't have enough skills to comunicate with people by English. I decided to study English more hard. But, I could learn not only English but also australian culture. These were very interesting things. So, I wanted to know foreign cultures more. For that, I thought that I have to study English more hard. And now, in university I study English. I can't use English very well yet. But I don't never give up!!


Second, I want to write about Chinese. When I was high school student, I had chance to study Chinese one year. I liked this lesson very much. It was little easy to study chinese because Chinese use Kanji too and similar to English's grammar. But it was hard to pronounce Chinese. Our teacher was very well and he teaches many things about China. When he was university student, he went to China to study Chinese. So, he knew many things about China. I liked to hear his talk very much. I thought that I want to visit China too. And in the future I want to study Chinese again.


Third, I want to write about French. When I entered KGU, we had to choose second language. I choosed French because I thought that French is very cool. But, this idea was mistake for me. It was very difficult for me. French grammar and words were all difficult. Until last class, I didn't understand well.


Finally, I want to write about Korean. When I was junior high school, I liked to watch Korean drama and movie. I watched many dramas and movies with my mother. So, I was really interested in Korean and wanted to study Korean. But, I didn't have chance to study Korean. This year, I could have a chance to study Korean. I took a Korean class. It's very interesting but little difficult. But, Korean is similar to Japanese because Korean and Japanese are same grammar and sometime there are same phrases. And our teacher is very funny. He is Korean but his Japanese is very well. I thought that I want to speak foreign language like him.


I have studied these languages. But, I don't speak these language well. So, I have to study more hard. And some day, I want to have enough skills to comunicate with foreign people.
