1-03a: My Language Leaning Story and Plans

Since I was born, I got my Japanese skill. I can speak Japanese, because my parents taught me since I was a baby. I can speak Japanese, but I can not write Japanese words well.

When I was a elementary school student, I learned Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji and so on. Japanese has three words, so it is difficult to remember them.  I think that Kanji is the most difficult, because there are many words, and they have a lot of similar words. I learned how to write, how to read, and how to use. They uses other way. For example, Kotowaza and Yojijyukugo. Also,they have many kind, so it is hard to remember them.

When I was a junior high school student, I learned English for the first time. At first, I knew its alphabet, some words, and sentences . For example, "Hello", "Thank you", "See you", "Apple", "Strawberry", "banana", "love", and so on. They are very easy sentences and words. I had no known about English, so it was hard for me. In particular, grammar is the most difficult for me. I did not know that English word order. I could not distinguish which is verb, and which is adjunct. However, I studied English, I can understand construction of English. Gradually, I can read English sentences. Also, I learned its present form, the past form, future tense. It is very useful when I speak. I had liked English, when I was a junior high school student. As same as high school, I learned English words, sentences, and so on.

When I was a first year student in KGU, I took German. I studied two languages which were English and German. German's grammar is different with English and Japanese. Some substance , for example, newspaper, it has personal pronoun. German's all substance has each personal pronoun, so it is very hard to remember them. However, it is similar with English, how to read. Some kind of words changed how to read, but all that changed. To study German was difficult,but I could enjoy them, because I could know that I did not know.

Now, I learned English everyday. However, I can not speak, and I can not read English sentences very first. I want to improve them before I graduated to KGU. (381 words)

My Language Skills

Ten years ago, I was a elementary school student. I got my Japanese skill. For example, I got Japanese words, grammar, and Kanji. Kanji is very difficult for me, because it has many kind of word. Also, it is difficult how to read. There are similar words, so it is difficult for me. Also, Kotowaza is difficult. There are a lot of words, and they have a lot of meaning. 

Now, I got Japanese skill, English skill, and Germany skill. Germany skill is very little. I got English skill when I was a junior high school student for the first time. Before I learn about English, I just know very easy words. For example, banana, money,  apple, and so on. In addition, I just can speak "Hello, my name is Mayu." Since I learn English, I can understand it gradually. When I was a junior high school student, English is my favorite studying. When I was high school student, English is more difficult than junior high school. Grammar is complex and so long. I had to remember a lot of words. I had to test about English words once a week, so I always read my English words book. I could learn many words.

Ten years in the future, I want to become speaking English well. Now, I can not speak English well. I can read English grammar, and understand it. However, speaking English is very difficult. I think that I have to learn more English words and grammar. I want to go trip in abroad, and I want to chat with foreign people.
