Actually before, all students in junior high need to learn English. And that is how I get started. And later on, I found that learning English helped to understand people and cultures of other countries. And I pretty much enjoyed all those.

At the third year of my college study, I started learning Japanese cause it was the second foreign language we must learn. Japanese is fun and also there is some similarities with Chinese. I enjoy Japanese movies and music as well.

Generally speaking, learning a foreign language is fun and useful.

Thanks for sharing a important question with me, i think we learn foreign languages because of our interest in different culture, civalizations and we want to know different people and their life style. As you know that travelling is my passion because i m also want to explore the world and different culture, so i always try to travel different countries. Maybe you will not agree with my opinion but i think i m interested of these reason.
