I have been learning English since 3rd grade and now I am really happy that I am able to express myself in this lanugage. I can hold a conversation with people who are new to me and uaually it's I who start discussing a new subject.
But, at the start of summer vacation I decided to learn French. My first words are from the most common 625 words in French. But why are I am doing this? This has a few reasons. These days, lanugages are really important. If you are able to speak english and another lanugage, you will understand how languages are constructed. Moreover, you will appreciate the system and identify the individual differences in each language.
The second reason is that I would need it for my school career and it facilitates my learning of English. But I don't
want to go too deep in this subject here.
The last reason is that I understand I am not bad in languages. The way we learn languages at school is okay, but is
not the reality. You really need to speak and think in it. So you need no grammar. But I can't write that much here. So I have to stop. I hope you understood why I am learning French :D
