2-02b; My learning language

My language learning experience, I learned English and German and Japanese so far. And now I study. Japanese is my mother tongue so I had to study Japanese in elementary school and junior high school and high school. It’s class was called Kokugo. All Japanese students have to study. English too. Some elementary school doesn’t have the class but almost elementary class has. And German is my choice. In university, I could choose one language from some language. For example, French and Spanish. I chose German.

First I’ll talk about my German learning experience. Why I chose German? I heard my older friends that German is easier than other language. And German grammar is similar to English grammar. So I decided. I went to the German class last year. The class is little difficult for me. But I have many friends in the class. My friends and I helped each other.

When I was absent the class, next week class I had to do the print of the absent class and I had to hand in the print. That is very terrible and I couldn’t understand what the print mean and show. Then I asked my friends. They helped me and tough the contents so I could understand and I can hand in my print to my teacher. German has many articles. For example, man article and woman article and neutral article. German verb have each nature so I have to remember that each verb fall under each article. This is very difficult and many! But I could take the credits of German. So I like German and the class. Sometime, my friends and I talk with in German.

Next I’ll talk my learning English experience. When I started study English in junior high school, I didn’t like study English very much because I couldn’t recollect English words but I tried recollecting that and I began go to the cram so I could understand English grammar and words. Then I came to like English little.

This summer, I went to Minnesota. This experience is great! I was most surprise that everything is big that Japanese! For example, goods are deal and ice cream box is big! A cake is too big! I thought that who eat this size! Who use!

I had many worries before went. But my host mother and American teachers and friends are very kind. I love them. When I couldn’t talk my host mother about my school day well, my host mother try understood hard and she tough me some words. So I could talk about my school day once more. Then I was happy very much.

I am thankful for all people teach me English and many things in America. I think that I have to study English more and more so I’ll go Minnesota again!
