Learning Language My History

I have been learning languages since I was a child. I had a lot of chances to learn language without Japanese until now. As a result, I have been learning English now. I will introduce my language learning history. It goes without saying that the first language I learn was Japanese. I might learn Japanese from my parents and my grandparents when I was a baby. They spoke to me a lot of words in Japanese and I could get understanding of Japanese.

When I was a child, I had good environment to learn Japanese. My parents buy toy for learning “hiragana” for me. The toy is like a wooden puzzle of hiragana. I liked it very much and I always played with it at home. I think I could learn hiragana through the toy. In addition, I could learn at preschool from my teacher, my friends and TV for children. I like to watch TV. Especially my favorite program was “Okasan-to-issyo”. I watched the program every day. I think TV is important part to learn languages.

I began to learn Japanese more from I had entered elementary school. At first, I learned reading and writing of hiragana. Next, I learned reading and writing of “kanji”. I did not like to study kanji. I did not do homework for kanji. So, I am poor at kanji now. I thought I should have studied kanji more when I was a elementary school student. I regret now.

I am majoring in English. I learned English for the first time when I was in the 6th grade. I thought it is interesting to study English. I was surprised by difference between English words and Japanese words. I was interested in English soon. And then I began to learn English in cram school because I wanted to learn English more. So, I was learned English by teachers of cram school. However I did not like to study so much and I had quit it before I entered a junior high school.

I learned English at junior high school and high school. I came to want to learn English in learning English at schools. So, I wanted to go to a higher school. When I was a high school student, I learned Chinese by Chinese teacher. I interested in language itself. So, I learned Chinese. I could not learn Chinese so much because I studied for a year. However I found my dream then. I entered to University to learn English more.

When I was 1st grade of university, I studied French. It was difficult to study French for me but it was interesting language. French differ with English. I think French is more difficult than English.

I want to learn a lot of languages besides English, Chinese and French. For example, Korean, Spanish. And I want to learn English, Chinese, French more, so I want to be person who can speak a variety of languages. I should study more to such a person. I need to study not only at school but also at home.
