Essay2-02a:My learning Languages

I have ever learned 3 languages from pre- school to University. They are Japanese, English and French. There were many trouble and efforts through learning. I liked to learning until I was a junior high school student. Now, I tell you about these languages learning experience. I'm glad to give your comment after you read this.


First, I tell you in my pre-school days. I looked at a lot of things anyway. Toys, foods, stuffed animals...too much things! I took and looked at what I was interested in a long time one after another. And I asked pre- school nurse what it is. Pre-school nurse always answered what it is and how it uses kindly. I learned them more and more. In pre-school, there was nothing I could but learn what I was interested in.

Second, I tell you in my elementary school days. Learning became full-dress in elementary school. I learned hiragana, katakana and very simple kanji when I was a lower grades student of elementary school. I wrote my name in hiragana many times first. Then I practiced to write the other hiragana. After learning hiragana, I learned katakana as I learned hiragana. I kept writing hiragana and katakana on note again and again. I mastered hiragana and katakana and I started to learn very simple kanji next. I learned a lot of simple kanji which means big, river, dog and so on in English. I saw kanji first then, so I enjoyed learning kanji.

Third, I tell you in my junior high school days. Learning became more difficult in junior high school. I learned idioms, difficult kanji and archaisms in Japanese class. Idiom forms meaning by combining some kanji. I studied how to read and meaning of idiom. I liked to study idioms, so I always got perfect score on the test. As I was glad for it I studied harder. I also studied difficult kanji. Kanji learning in junior high school was a quite different from kanji learning in elementary school. The order to write kanji became complicated. But I still liked kanji very much at this point. Therefore, I studied harder and got perfect score on kanji test, too. I started to learn archaism. I learned basic archaism in junior high school, so I could keep up learning archaism. Also, as studying archaism was first time for me I was interested in it. I started to study English. Before I study English I was worried that I can memorize English words, pronounce English propery and so on. But my anxiety changed quickly. I very much enjoyed studying English. I really liked English. I learned basis words, vocabulary, sentences, pronunciation and listening. I could study English without pain because I liked English. I always got good score.

Fourth, I tell you in high school days. Learning became very difficult for me from high school. Text became only books that is used very difficult expression. Since this point it was trouble for me to learn. Everything was difficult for me in Japanese class. Idioms, kanji, archaisms...everything! Even if I studied harder I couldn't get good score on Japanese test. I came to hate Japanese. Studying English was as difficult as Japanese, but I didn't come to hate English except for listening. I was poor at listening then. I usually got good score on English test, but I couldn't get good score on listening test. As I had liked English I proceeded way of English in University.

Fifth, I tell you about learning in University. I hardly have Japanese learning, but I studied Japanese sentence expression. I practiced to write paper in the class. I didn't like the class because I'm not good at writing sentence. I did my best. I got the credit possibly. I am taking writing, reading, listening, speaking and grammar concerned English. They make me fun and worried. I am very busy because I have what to do a lot, but I study hard now.


I thought that I had enjoyed studying at that time. As I was glad to get good score I studied harder and I got good score again. That time was the repetition. I don't enjoy studying now. I want to remember feeling of that time again. I thought that I try to do my best more by writing this essay.

BR 2-05: There Was A Crooked Man

I read a book "There Was A Crooked Man". This book is not magic key series and authors are different. This book is in the Usborne first Reading series. This book is story about a crooked man. This book was cute book. Both the story and the illustration were pretty. I thought that the crooked mother cat was kind and she is mother after all. This book was interesting for me.

My best impressive scene is mother cat gave her kittens fish. It made me kind feeling. I thought that mothers regarded children best both human and animal. When I become a mother I'm sure to regard my children best.

Also, this book has 3 puzzles as free gift. It was interesting, too. This book is made to please for children. Though I am university student, I enjoyed it!

My language learning experience

I learned French a little when I was first grade university student. It was very difficult for me. French was different from Japanese and English. Composition and pronunciation were a quite different. Of course, words and vocabulary were, too. As I didn’t understand French I had many trouble first.

BR 2-04: New Trainers

I read a book "New Trainers". This book is not magic key series, but authors were same. This book is short story comparatively, so it was easy for me to read this book. Though this book was short, it was interesting.

After I finished reading this book I thought that I have to have responsibility and say everything, because main character was told to take care of shoes from his father. But as soon as saying so, his father got dirty his shoes. However I said anything, my words doesn't carry conviction if I can't do what I said. So I have to have own responsibility. I could learn good thing.

Typing homework 5

My favorite class is Listening because we can watch video in the class. As the video is interesting for me I can enjoy the class. In this class, teacher plays a tape every time. We hear content of the tape and fill some blank about the tape. We are separated some group. We can cooperate with own group, so someone of group helps me if I can't hear some blank. After we finished hearing tape teacher shows us video. We also hear content of the video and fill some blanks, solve some problems about video. I like the video and I gaze the video. So, I miss hearing. But teacher plays the video three times. It is difficult for me to hear native English, but I do my best.
