Language learning history (essay 5)

I am a student of Britain and American in KGU. I study English and other language, so I introduce my language learning history this time.

When I was a junior high school student, I started to study English for the first time. Although I referred to English a little when I was a elementary school student, I don't remember then. At first, I didn't like study English because I felt that studying English is very difficult for me. I had not studied foreign language until I become a junior high school student. So, I didn't know anything about English. I didn't want to study English, but I had to take an examination. I studied English hard! I was not good at English grammar, so I especially studied it. Then I passed examination without hindrance, and I came to like English gradually.

When I was a high school student, I learned some English skills. For example, I learned about writing, reading and grammar. I got to like English grammar a little, but I didn't get to like gradually. Because my English grammar's teacher was bad at teaching. So, I couldn't understand her lesson, and I didn't study English.

However, I thought that I want to study English again. A prompt was a school trip. My high school students want to New Zealand when we are a junior. I stayed with a family. The family had five members, father, mother, their daughter and two sons. They were very kind and gentle, so I liked the family very much. I wanted to talk with their about my family, New Zealand, Japan, culture of each other and so on. But I couldn't talk about it too much, because I thought making a mistake in English is shame. So, I depended on my friends many times. But now, I regret depending on my friends. Actually, I want to talk with the family in my speaking skill. When I returned home from a school trip to New Zealand, I thought that I should study English harder! So, I studied English earnestly from now on. Then, I was interested in some jobs concerning English. Therefore I decided to go the university which has British and American Department.

In the University, I learned speaking, listening, writing, reading and grammar of English. All subjects were very difficult for me. Speaking was particularly difficult and hard. Because we had to do presentation many times. I was afflicted by it, but I'm happy now! Because we didn't have to do presentation when we became a sophomore!

Also, I took a TOEIC and Eiken for progress of the English ability. Both of them are not easy, but I will continue to take it. And, I want to gain my end.

I studied Chinese and Spanish as well as English when I was a freshman. Sentences of China are written in Chinese character. Japanese also use Chinese character so many times, so I thought Chinese is intimate. Then I studied Spanish, because I want to go Spain in the future, and I want to see 'Sagrada Familia (El Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia)'.

Learning foreign languages are very difficult. But I like studying foreign language, because I'm interested in foreign countries in studying it.

I have studied English since junior high school, and I will continue to learn it. Learning language is very difficult, but I think it is interesting. I want to speak English fluently in the future, so I I will try my best !
