My L2 Journey

 

A road full of potholes but self-fulfilling.

I have been studying the English language from primary school until high school. It took ten years of study because it is part of our syllabus.

I also have experience in college, wherein I am taking an English major. Unfortunately, I did not finish my degree because I feel twitterpated to a Japanese guy.

For some reason, we got a divorce five years ago. Living in Japan surrounded by non-English speakers makes one’s tongue dull in speaking the English language; supposing English is not my native language, my potholes of learning the English language began.

I realized if we don’t apply the knowledge, we have already gain it will slowly vanish it is like treasures on earth where moth and rust can corrupt.

I also realized from my own experienced that repetition in learning a new language is significance in the learning process.

So, I try to make my blog to asked somebody to share their personal journey in learning new language as well, to help others who strides with us in this journey.

Comments and share your story is highly appreciated.
