My favorite movie

I like to watch movies at a movie theater. My favorite movie is "Princess Mononoke". Have you heard its name? This movie is made by Studio Ghibli. I like Hayao Miyazaki's movies very much. This movie was shown in 1997. I watched it at a movie theater with my mother. Then, my mother was pregnant. Now, I'll tell you about this movie's plot. Long time ago, there were two different worlds, the human world and the divine world. The two worlds competed because men attempted to destroy mountains for reclamation. A heroine of this movie, Princess Mononoke, is a girl who have been brought up by a wild dog. She is a brave girl, so I respect her. If you watch this movie, I'm sure that you like it.

My favorite dish

Do you have a favorite dish? My favorite dish is hash and rice!! Actually, I didn’t like hash and rice when I was little. Now, I don’t know why I didn’t like it. I especially prefer the hash and rice that the ratio of rice and roux is 1 to 1. I like it very much, but my sister doesn’t like it, so I don’t eat hash and rice at my home. Recently, I heard that there is a good restaurant of delicious hash and rice. The name of this restaurant is “More”. I have not gone there, so I would like to go to the restaurant. If you know a good restaurant of hash and rice, please tell me.

I have learned Japanese for 20 years. I like Japanese because there are some expressions for one meaning. For example, since I was little, I like to learn Kanji.

I would like to be an English teacher, so I study English at KGU. I am bad at listening to English. To improve my ability in listening English, I listen to English music. About three weeks ago, Mr. Tomei recommended us to use English Central, a site we can watch videos and practice our English. I enjoy doing it. Moreover, I study for TOEIC. I have taken TOEIC only two times. In December, I will take TOEIC, so I would like to get a good score.

I take Chinese classes and French class. Both of them are so hard for me. Pronunciation of them is so difficult. When I choose classes, I couldn’t decide whether to take Chinese or Korean easily. My father works in China and I was interested in China, so I chose the Chinese class. I began to take private lessons in Chinese from about 2 months ago. My father recommended me to go there. There, I am taught by Chinese. I want to learn Korean someday, too. I take French class on Wednesday. Last year, I took French class as a second foreign language. In addition to that, Chinese has the four tones. Even if pronunciation is collect, you take a mistake in the four tones and it is different in meaning.

These are my experiences of learning languages. I would like to master Japanese, English and Chinese and be a trilingual woman. I’ll go to the English-speaking world and China and want to get along with people there. I think that learning languages is so difficult, however, I’ll do my best. Please tell me how to learn languages if you have.
