I'm going to write about my language learning history. I don't study to speak Japanese but I can speak Japanese. Why can I speak Japanese? I would like to look back to my language learning history. In addition, I'm going to write about my English learning history. I have to study English but I also have to study Japanese.
First, I heard my mother's voice inside her. My mother always had talked to me. She read some books for me. I don't remember it but I might hear her voice. I was born and my parents talked to me a lot. I couldn't understand but I could be easy in my mind. In addition, my relatives also talked to me a lot. I was happy and I cried. I couldn't talk and I could cry only in these days. However, people around me looked after me without being angry. This is the way I became to be able to speak Japanese a little so I should thank a lot of people.
Second, I started to learn national language in a primary school. I study to read, write and hear. I became to be able to write "hiragana, katakana and kannji" and read some books. I talked a lot with friends and I became to be able to talk well. I got a lot of words. If I have some unknown words, I asked to teacher and parents. They asked me kindly. I can master Japanese easily. I didn't have any trouble.
Third, I started to learn English in a junior high school. It was a first experience so it was very interesting for me. I thought that I want to speak English so I have to learn a lot of English words. However, I learn English the more, the more difficult. I couldn't listen, speak and write well. It is not easy! I thought that I can not master English easily. I try to do my best or I can't master English.
Finally, I have studied English for seven years. Now, I think that I want to speak English well. I have to study hard or I can never speak English. I will go to New Zealand in this summer, it is my first trip abroad. I want to speak English a lot there and I want to make friends. To learn English is not easy for us like native language. Therefore, I have to study hard. In addition, I should master Japanese perfectly because it is natural. Japanese should know about Japan more. I don't know history of Japan well and I don't know Japanese traditional culture. If I am asked foreigner about Japan, I want to ask properly. Therefore, I have to study Japanese as well as English.
