I will talk about my language learning history. I speak Japanese because my mother country is Japan, you know. I began to speak language when I was a baby of 10 month of age and sung a Japanese tulip song " 咲いた咲いた" when I was one year old. My parent said "You started to speak language early." I was not interested in English or another language when I was a elementary school student. A English teacher who taught me English when I was a first-year student in junior high school changed my mind and then I became to be interested in English. This is the beginning of my language learning history!
The class was so interesting and we sung many English songs such a Beatles' song, Carpenters' song, "country road" and so on. I like the class and the English teacher because it made my world broaden. The teacher went abroad to teach Japanese to other country's student, so I was so sad and said good-bye to the teacher. In my second-year, it changed my history big. There was a chance to go abroad!
My junior high school has a program to home stay in Australia. I had no brave to go abroad then, so I was not going to run for the program. And yet, my best friend asked me to run for the system together. I wrestle with the choice whether go or not. I consulted with my parent and my parent said " It is a good chance for you! You should apply for the home stay program!! Encouraged by the parent's words, I decided to apply for the program and wrote an essay and was interviewed in English and Japanese. Then I was elected by Kikuyo town and was dispatched. First, I couldn't speak English well with my host family or students in class because I was nervous and I can only speak English such as "Hello! My name is Nozomi. I am a junior high school student and I can play the piano". A week passed, I became I want to talk more with my host sister but I didn't know how to speak English more. I was so vexed with I couldn't speak English well, so I thought I should study English more and I want to be a person who can speak English well and talk more with other country's people. This is one of my reason that I study English. And it was a very precious experience for me!
I participated in English recitation contest, so I practiced English pronunciation everyday. My English teacher always teach me pronunciation zealously, so I and my partner took second place in Kikuchi county and we speeched on the stage in front of the whole student body. I was so nervous then, but I tried to do my best. It gave me a confidence of speak English. I think having confidence is one of the important skills for me. I studied English more in my high school days, and I became I like learning English more and more.
In my university life, I encountered new languages, Spanish and Korean. It was difficult to learn because I've learned only English until then, so I needed to change my thinking for grammar or pronunciation or words. However, I like to learn them because if I can speak them, I can make friends more in other countries and then my new view of the world opens up. Now I want to learn them more and encounter other languages such as Chinese or French or something like that. I participated English speech contest and I really sometimes joined the English lounge. I took a TOEFL and TOEIC course in after school or spring vacation to master English skills.
How I study English is I take a radio English conversation program, I watch movies in English and I study English to get high score in TOEIC.
In conclusion, to learn English or other languages make my world broaden because I can communicate with different country's people and know other culture and thinking. To know other country is to know my country because I can find the differences between Japan and other. I would like to find a job using English or contact with abroad. I'll go abroad more and make friends with all over the world. In my future, I'll travel the world and get knowledge. In order to communicate with other smoothly, I'll try to study English and other languages more harder!!
