I started to go to a school of English conversation, when I was an elementary school student. Because my friend was going to the school. I was interested in the school when I heard about the school. I asked my mother to let me go to the school. Then, I started go to the school because my mother allowed me to go. First, I learned the alphabet. Next, I learned pronunciation and grammar. I didn't know the fun of English before I go to school. However, I could know the fun because of the school. Also, I could learn with my friends, so I didn't give up learning English.
When I was a junior high school student, I started to take English classes in a junior high school. I was good at writing and reading English at that time because I learned English before I entered the junior high school. I liked English, so I talked to ALT. Then, I could understand what he said. I was very happy. I tried to talk to him as much as I can. Talking to ALT made my speaking skill better than before. However, I felt that English was little difficult when I was second grade in junior high school student because English grammar became more difficult than first grade in junior high school. Then, I didn't like English. However, English is my best subject to get good score in tests, so I felt I like English. I couldn't get 100 points in English tests, but I could enjoy studying English in the school.
Also, I could exchange letters with the ALT when I was a junior high school student. I wrote many letters to the ALT, The figure of the ALT's letters which were sent by him were cute, so it is pleasure to write letters in English. Especially, the letters which were sent on Halloween and Christmas were more cute. It is interesting for me to write and read English sentences.
When I was a high school student, I was belonged to English club. The club wasn't active, but we did few things which made our English skills well. We did some games that we use English. Also, I exchanged letters with a girl who was second grade in junior high school and living in America when I was third grade in high school. She wrote English sentences in longhand, so it is hard to read them. That was good experience for me.
I like watching movies. I have some patterns to watch movies. First, I watch a movie in Japanese with no subtitle. Next, I watch the movie in English with Japanese subtitle. Then finally, I watch the movie in English with no subtitle. Therefore, I can understand what they say, and I can know new words. It takes long time, but I like this way to study English. If you have enough free time, I recommend you this way.
Sometimes, I read books in English. I read a book which is related to Michael Jackson in English. I like him, so I don't get tired of reading. I can't read them fast, so I read slowly. When I find words I don't know, I use a dictionary. The contents of the book are long, so it is hard to read all. I can know words I didn't know from the book. Reading books in English is a chance to know many words. If I have free time, I want to read more books in English. If you have your favorite books, please tell me the title of books.
Also, I watch a Yahoo website which is American version. I can know about circumstances of America. There is interesting news in there. There are many words I don't know, and I can't understand the means of the word sometimes even if I use a dictionary. Therefore, I have to guess the mean. It is difficult, but it is interesting. Many interesting news are in the websites, and the kinds of news are different from Japanese Yahoo. I recommend you this not just to study English.
I learned German in KGU. It was first time I learned another new language. Grammar of German is like English. I know nothing about German, so I tried to find laws of German. Of course, I learned many things about German from a teacher. I enjoyed learning German, so I wonder if I take German class next year.
I think every language is difficult to understand and use perfectly. But I want to be able to use and speak the three languages. Also, I try to get better TOEIC score than before. There are many things I have to remember, so I study harder not to regret. Please tell me if you have your favorite way you study languages :)
