Essay2-03a: How I have learnt languages

I started to study English when I was an elementary school student. I like to study English, so I borrowed some English books. And I learned some English words. There was a English class once a week. We enjoyed singing a song, playing games, talking with my teacher and so on. So I liked to study English more and more.

When I was a junior high school student, there were a lot of English classes. My favorite class that we enjoyed talked with ALT. Her name is Holly. I often talked with her when I had a free time. In those days, I could speak a little English words. So it was difficult for me to talk with her. When I talked with her, I used dictionary, book and I asked my teacher. Of course, I talked with her in my school but I came back school, we exchange some e-mails. It was very interesting and exciting. Sometimes, I went to her house with my friend. At that time, we enjoyed cooking, talking. She taught us about her hometown and showed us some pictures in her country. I was very happy because I could know about her country. Since I met Holly, I learned a lot of important things. She gave me a chance to study English!

When I was a high school student, I decided to study English more and more. But English class was more difficult that junior high school one. But I like to study English, so I study very hard. One day, my teacher said to me that Will you take part in a English Speech Contest? I'm good not at speaking in public. But I decided to join it. I talked about how I study English and my favorite countries. I practiced to read every day again and again. I memorized about more 600 words. I couldn't get good results but it was good experience for me. And I could make good memories!

Now I am a Kumamoto Gakuen University student. I study English and Spanish. I study Spanish for the first time. It was very difficult for me to study but Spanish words resemble Japanese pronunciation. So I practiced Spanish words and speaking. Finally, we could introduce my self using Spanish. Spanish used many people next to English. So I study it more and more!
