One of our homework topics was:

I’m not good at learning a new language. Sometimes I get embarrassed trying to say things. How do you feel learning a new language? What makes it easy to learn? What makes it hard?

Here are some of the responses.

I feel it is hard and difficult to learn a new language. When we go to that country it is easier. But staying in our country, it is hard to learn. – Regina

I felt happy about learning a language, and because of that, working very hard can make you good at our language. That’s the easy part. And it’s hard to learn something different about another language, like Chinese does not have past tense, but English does. – Alicia

Because we feel shy or nervous and they are better at speaking it. It’s easy because we practice every day. It feels like new things to do. And I listen to my friends and say it. I’m watching English so I know some knew words. And I’m feeling really confused. – Tanu

The easy way is some people telling how to say the language, but the hard way is to be learning alone. I feel happy because I am learning a new language. – Richard
