Learning foreign languages Hi! My name's Zuzanna, I'm from Poland and I'd like to tell you about my hobby. I'm interested in many things like writing and reading books, horse riding or drawing but I love traveling and learning foreign languages the most though. My maternal language is Polish. I've been learning it since I was born and i grew up next to it. It's a really hard language to learn and I know that I'm not going to meet many people speaking it abroad. The first foreign language that I met was English. I started to get known some basic words when I was four, than I was studying it at school but I didn't actually learn anything very useful or complicated. The real beggining of my English studying was four years ago when I went to a language school for the first time. I was almost twelve. The second language that I started to learn was Spanish. I went to A1 classes when I was thirteen, it was two years ago. I had always liked this language and wanted to study it and I finally could fulfill my dream. The first year I spent in a two-person group and then I moved to a four-person group and I've been learning there until today. The other sudents are adults so there is a huge age difference. I find them really nice and friendly people though. A year ago I went to gymnasium. It's a kind of a junior high-school in Poland. I had to choose a new language to study and in the school that I went to were two options: German and French. I really wanted to get known French but because of my parents' impact I arrived in a class studying German. Teaching in polish schools is terrible. I'd been studying German for year and actually, in the end of the first year I didn't understand anything. In October I started going to the extra German classes so that learn more and now I'm doing quite well in my school but I know it's not enough for me and I'm going to practice more ang more. Five days ago I decided to study Italian for my own. It's a perfect challenge for me to try to learn a language at home. I use only Internet- some blogs and YouTube channels about Italian in different languages. I hope I won't give up. I really want to achieve it. I'm going to go on a summer camp next year and it will includy Italy so I will be able to check my skills.
