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

I learned some languages. When I was the lower the grade, I learned the Japanese. I learn the hiragana and katakana. And I practiced writing those. When I was the upper grades of the elementary school, I study the Chinese characters. I wrote it to the note over and over. And I read aloud the textbook with students in the class. I was reading the books in the library of the school with my friends. Also, I learned English in the supplemental school. I learned the alphabets and English greetings. For example, "Hello", "How are you?" and so on. I like English since this time. When I was a junior high school student, I taught English in the school. I study English grammar, listening, writing, and reading. I took the English trial examination in the class. I also studied the Japanese classics, classical Chinese writing and modern writing. It was a very difficult. But I had to study it, because there was the entrance exam for the high school. I studied the English and Japanese in the high school. I had thought it would be difficult, but it wasn't so bad. In the English class, I heard the western music, and I filled in some blanks with appropriate words in the lyrics card with my classmates. I read the textbook with everyone. I wrote a lot of words in the homework. It was hard, but thanks to it, I memorize the words. In the Japanese class, I learned the reading comprehension and proverbs. Also, there were the tests. So I studied it. I'm studying English more in KGU. I learn the reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Especially, I study English pronunciation using the "English Central". I'm not good at it. So I'm studying.. And I learn many words using the "Power Words", because I expand to vocabulary. Homework is very hard, but I can study English. Also I studied the Spanish when I was a freshman. I was taught the Spanish conversation and grammar. I would like to use English in the future. So I'm going to study it. And I want to study other languages, because I want to get much knowledge.

  1. Hi Karin,

    At the beginning of your essay, you have a single sentence that could become part of an introductory paragraph several sentences in length that lets readers know what main points the rest of your essay will cover. You also seem to have skipped over years of first (and additional) language learning that took place _before_ you entered the Japanese school system. So would you please fill in that gap?

    Cheers, PB

  2. Very nice essay! When I was child , I also write it down to the notebook to remember the Kanji. Let me ask you a question. What do you think is easier for you to remember the Kanji. To write on the note book? or just read?
