Essays1-06 My tool is Mr.English

Hello, today I am going to talk about my story of Japanese and English, plus Spanish, Chinese and Korean too. If you are interested in me at least a little bit, please read that!

First of all, when I was a child I met foreigner first time in my hometown. Just then I was so happy because I was surprised. I couldn't understand then I felt wonderful. Also "Why your eyes are different colour?", "...?! Are you Japanese?? mm, nono you are not, so... where are you from?" I thought. From then, I had become interested in English, also the other languages, countries, culture and history. So I took Spanish class last year. It was a little bit hard for me, because even in English, I'm not good at to understand it, so when I study Spanish it took 2 times as to understand English. However, I had become to understand it after 5 months since when I entered in this university. For example, faster research at dictionary, got vocabulary more then before and so on.

However, I didn’t know how to study English. So when I was a junior high school 2 year, I have given up once, but I became liked study English since when I went to New Zealand the year. I went to Australia the next year. I started to study English form then, but in fact, it was too hard for me. The reason is I was late to study English, so I was too frustrated, but I didn’t give up! Finally, I could enter in this university, so I’m glad to that. I must be study harder!!!

Secondly, I was talking the other language what is Chinese, because I was just interested in Chinese, especially accent and pronunciation. I love it! However, it was very difficult. In fact, it might be similar that like Japanese because we have Chinese letter. We called "KANJI". But, form is different. I think Chinese and English is very resembles! Anyway, I still like Chinese. I can't speak Chinese yet though, I can speak at least a bit.

So, recently, I am about worried, Why? because I can't write some KANJI(Chinese character) sometimes. So I forgetting a little bit... it's not good, but I concentrate to English so that's fine. However, of course I like Japanese, especially idiom or......, then Japanese has 3 items that are HIRAGANA, KATAKANA, KANJI. It's awesome, isn't it? I think so.

Then, I'm really interested in Korean recently. Why? Because I made a lot of friends who are exchange students at KGU. Usually I always go to their dormitory when I have times, then we hang out, just chilling, chatting, playing some games... etc. So I'm very good time with them. One day, a woman who is one of the Korean said me, "Panma gosso? パンマゴｯソ?" Of course I couldn't understand, but she gestured me how she put her hand to her stomach, so she wanted to say "Have you had eaten dinner yet?" she showed me. "Not yet." I said. Then she gave me which was delicious Korean foods, that is why. After that, I am teaching to Korean by them.

So, I have some vocabulary, some idiom, and I can say some sentence! I still study English because I am not perfect, but I'm interested in Korean right now! So I feel it's very easy to understand Korean! My hobby increased what is how to study Korean, it's too much fun to me:) I want to keep studying!!!

In my opinion, people who can study if he felt so, there are 195 counties in all over the world. So we should learn a lot of languages. If I could speak all languages, I wish I could...! But it's possible! We can do whatever!! We should know not only Japanese/English (native language or second language), but also the other language! I am sure what it will widely in my life in the future! It's very, very good for us, I guess.

Finally, I think I'm really blessed by my all environments, because I have a lot foreigner friends! I can find great opportunity in this university, you too, I guess. It's very helpful to me. I am grateful for all. I want to get great skills of English as soon as possible, and then I want to study another language from now on too.
