Essay 1-03a: My Language Learning Story and Plans

Since I was born, I have learned some languages and many words. I have lived with Japanese words all the time. When I was young, the people around me taught some words. However, I was too young, so I couldn't say right such as “man-ma”. It means mother. After I entered elementary school, I learned kanji. I think that I learned a large number of kanji, mostly when I was an elementary school student. I studied it hardly. At my school, we used “kanji skill” which is a workbook of kanji and we had kanji tests of the workbook every week. We my classmates studied hard to get the high score. Since I was a third grade of the elementary school, I began to go to English conversation school. I continued to go to there until third grade of high school. In the beginning, I had been taught some greetings and easy words. After I entered junior high school, I studied English proficiency test using textbooks. Thanks to that, I could get used to English earlier than usual and I came to like English. Since I was a junior high school student, I learned Japanese classics. Although I didn’t think it is difficult as I was a junior high school student, it became to think it is difficult since high school. The reason is that I had to remember a lot of words’ meaning and Japanese particles. At the high school, we had to prepare lessons every class. However, thanks to that, I can understand better than the past. Now, I study English every day at the university. I became to be able to write a lot in English and read English newspaper a little. However, I’m not good at speak English, pronounce English and listen English. I think overcoming that will change me, so I want to make efforts.

In the future, I would like to get better English skills then. I want to go abroad once using my English fluency. In addition, I want to use English dairy. I don’t decide my dream clearly yet, but I want to get a job such relate to English. Now, I study teaching profession, so I have to get much better some English skills!

My other classes

In this year, I have 16 classes in a spring term. Compulsory subjects are very hard for me because these subjects give students too many homeworks! I think Writing class and Speaking class are the hardest works in terms of the amount of homework.

 My favorite subject is psychology. The reason is that the teacher's talking is very interested and useful on dairy life. The class is always fun.
