A brief story of mine I've been learning English for 12 years now and I really love that language. I began to learn English when I was about 9 y.o., I was in primary school at that time. I didn't really focus on English then. I was watching Attack of the Clones teaser when my sister got into the room and saw a paper of mine. On that paper I was writing the sentences from the teaser, but as I didn't really know English, I wrote it phonetically in my native language (Polish). My sister laughed, corrected the text and told me that I had a nice perception of sounds. That's the moment when I really started to learn English. I really got into it and watched Star Wars many times to get as much as possible out of it. Later on, I watched more movies and got even more interested in the language. When I was 15, I started to learn French and got the accent very easily. I fell in love with languages and went on to learning more and more diverse languages such as Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, German and Russian. My English progressed and I tried to immerse myself as much as possible. I was playing computer games in English, even if I there was a choice between Polish and English. I used to talk with people on webcams and online chats. My sister speaks fluent English and our main language of communication is actually English, which really annoys my mother who thinks that we are plotting against her. In some ways, English is my preferred language of communication and thinking. I really feel that I'm more sincere when speaking English. Recently, I've read an article that says that it's better to think in a foreign language if we want to have better and more real results. Now I study 2 faculties. I'm on the third year of Applied linguistics with French and Arabic and on the first year of Cultural studies with Chinese Mandarin. I attended some English classes and actually prefer the lectures in foreign languages. In the future I want to be a translator or at least work with languages. I already have some experience in oral and written translations, but it's still not much. Thanks for your attention!
