The meaning of learning language

 All of the world, there are many language and cultures. To study the other country is very important to communicate with people who are from all over the world and live this society. I have studied English, French, Korean, and Chinese ever since. The reason I study those language is that. As for French, once I watched French movie “ Ameri”. I have been interested in French culture and language, so I studied French. As for Korean and Chinese, I went to New Zealand, and then I made Korean and Chinese friends there. I heard from them about Korean and Chinese culture. I have been interested in those cultures since then, so I study Korean and Chinese. The other reason I study language is to communicate with people who live in foreign country. That’s why I study language.

 My first experience of studying foreign country language is elementary school student. When I was an elementary school student, I started studying English at calm school. The reason I stared studying English is that. I had a friend whose nationality is America. I always hang out with him and touched American culture, so I came to be interested in American culture. I want to be an English speaker, so I decided to study English. At that time, I studied three times a week over writing skill, listening skill, reading skill, and speaking skill. I did not think that English is difficult when I was an elementary school student. I was really interested in English and want to speak English, so I stared studying English, and have studied it since then.

 Now, I study English, French, Korean, and Chinese. When I was freshman, I watched French movie “Ameri” Since then, I have been interested in French language and culture. I took a French class. French is very difficult for me because its grammar and pronunciation is too complex for me. However, I want to make French friends and want them to teach me it. To understand the difference between Japanese culture and French one is very interesting, so I continue studying French when I was freshman. It is very troublesome and takes much time, but I love France and one of my pressure, so I study French.

 I study Korean and Chinese once a week now. The reason I study these language is that. When I studied English in New Zealand for one month, I made Korean and Chinese friends there. Then, I heard their country’s story and I’m very interested in their culture. From then, I think that I want to communicate with them in their mother tongue. When I became sophomore, I took Chinese and Korean language class. Korean is similar to Japanese. Its grammar and pronunciation is very easy, but letter is too difficult to memorize. I work hard because my Korean friends sent me letter written in Korean, so I study Korean.

 Chinese is very easy, because we often use Chinese character, so it is easy to start. However, its pronunciation is too difficult and Japanese people pronunciation can not understand what Japanese said, however, my friend who is from china says to me “ you should study Chinese to communicate with me in Chinese, so I study much harder. To study Korean and Chinese is so difficult and complex for me, but to study these language is important to have view of other people who have different culture and communicate with them smoothey.

 In the future, I want to get a job related in English. I want to speak with other people who are from oversea in English, so I will study English much harder than now. Maybe, I will go to America or England after graduating Kumamoto Gakuen University to study English deeper and be able to speak to English more fluently. I want to go language school in England, and make many friends who live in foreign country. To communicate with other people who are from foreign country is really fun for me. I want to live in foreign country and work there, so learning English is essential for me. Moreover, if I could master English completely, I would study Chinese next. I want to speak at least English and Chinese. I want to live in foreign country and communicate with people who from foreign country. It is very important to be international worker. That is why I study English in the future.

 Learning many languages is too difficult and confuse, but I have to study language for the future. To think of it, learning language is also learning the other culture. I study French because I am really interested in French culture. I study Korean and Chinese because I have to communicate not only English but also their mother tongue sometimes. I study English for the future and make my dream come true. I have to study not only language but also its culture because it is very important to communicate with other people. To communicate with other who is from all over the world is very important for me to study many things and my future. That’s why I study many languages. (860words)
