Rewrite 2-03a: Personal Language Learning History

I have learned languages since I was a little girl. I think that languages are pretty important to take communication with other people. I have learned 3 languages. I will talk about the progress I am learning them.

First, I have learned French for 1 year. KGU eibei department students have to take a foreign language class except for English. Then I chose French for it because I am little interested in France. It is so difficult for me to learn French. French is differ from than English. They resemble in the words but the grammar do not resemble. I was so confused while I have learn French. Now I do not learn French but I think it was a good experience to learn other languages.

Second, I have learned Japanese since I was a little girl. Japanese is my mother tongue and I like Japanese. According to my parents, I started to learn Japanese early. I learned to write Japanese hiragana earlier than my older brother's age that he learned to write. I like Chinese characters. I think that it is a one of the pretty interesting points of Japanese. Chinese characters have some means by it selves. Then they can have other means through they combine with. I am not a girl who read books a lot. I read books only while a Japanese class besides I just read the text books that use in class. I just endeavor to remember the Chinese characters that I looked in the text books once. The reason why I like Chinese characters is interesting. Each Chinese character has some means itself. We can predict the idiom's mean from the Chinese characters. I feel it is pretty fun. Then I like Japanese and it is the reason why I want to learn Japanese much more.

Third, I have learned English since I was a junior high school student. I went to juku to study and separately I taught English by a tutor for 3 years. The tutor's English class made me pleasant to study English. I took Eiken 5 grade when I was 1st grade junior high school student. I passed the examine full marks. The result made me pretty happy and I like English much more. Then I decided enter Kumamoto Kita high scool's English course and I entered there. I have learned a lot of things during I stayed the English course. I was experienced a guide for Kumamoto castle in English when I was 1st grade in high school during summer vacation. I am shy but I could speak to foreign people at Kumamoto castle the activity. Did camping with my classmates only speaking English, it was very difficult to have a time with my classmates only speaking English, but it also fun. English play in school festival, I did not have line but I engaged translation Japanese to English little. These experiences are so precious for me. After that, I have entered KGU. I have to take 4 English classes(speaking, reading, listening, and writing) in KGU. I had a new big experience in this university.

I went to Minnesota, America for 4 weeks during this summer vacation. I had never been to foreign country ever before. Then it is my first time to leave Japan. I feel nervous, but also exciting. I touched a lot of another culture's customs. Then I had never have a chance that I speak English all day before. I heard noise in English. I felt strange heart. But it is a obvious precious experience for me. Before I went to Minnesota, I do not want to go to a foreign country, but after that my thought changed. I want to go foreign countries much more.

I have learned French,Japanese,and English. All of them, I like to learn. Especially English and Japanese, I want to learn more. I want to be a good English speaker and a good Japanese user. It is difficult that use languages rightly though Japanese is my mother tongue. Much less English is not mother tongue, it is very differ with Japanese. Then I will more study each languages, and improve each languages.
