Languages Hey everyone, today I will talk about languages ! My first hobby is language learning. I completely fell in love with them when I started to learn Serbo-Croatian. I've been learning English and German for almost 5 years. I began in secondary school. Then I decided to learn Serbo-Croatian 3 years ago and Russian 2 years ago. And since this year I've been Learning Chinese (Mandarin) in high school and Persian by myself. I love languages for many reasons. First of all, I enjoy the feeling of studing and speaking a language. Then, I'm very curious, so languages allow me to discover new people, new cultures and to have new friends. Finally, I love travelling and I think that the best way to understand a culture is to learn its language. Now, I will talk about the ressources I use. So, my favourite ressource is Assimil, I have this method for all of my target languages. Then I listen a lot to podcasts, radio and I watch series, videos on YouTube, cartoons... I think that this is one of the most important things to do when you learn a language because that's how babies learn to speak : they start listening to people and then repeating. I also try to speak with natives the most I can, even if I'm beginner, because the language is made to be spoken. Of course, I have classes (in English, German, Russian and Chinese), books, workbooks... to study the vocabulary and the grammar. Finally, I write about any topics to improve my writing expression and my vocabulary. I'd like to become a translator-interpreter, but I don't know in which languages yet. I'm interesting in a lot of languages, especially Slavic and Indo-Iranian languages, but I don't think that I can work in all of them, because I have to be fluent. Bye ! :)

Hey everyone, today I will talk about languages !

My first [do you mean "first" as in chronologically first? Otherwise "main" is better (Most important, what you primarily focus on] hobby is language learning. I completely fell in love with them it when I started to learn Serbo-Croatian.

I've been learning English and German for almost 5 years. I began in secondary school.
Then I decided to learn Serbo-Croatian 3 years ago and Russian 2 years ago.
And since this year I've been Learning Chinese (Mandarin) in high school and Persian by myself on my own.

I love languages for many reasons.
First of all, I enjoy the feeling of studying and speaking a language. Then, I'm also very curious, so languages allow me to discover meet new people, discover new cultures and to have ["make" might be better here] new friends. Finally, I love travelling and I think that the best way to understand a culture is to learn its language.

Now, I will talk about the ressources I use. So, my favourite ressource is Assimil: I have use this method for all of my target languages. Then I listen to a lot to podcasts, radio and I watch series, videos on YouTube, cartoons... I think that this is one of the most important things to do when you learn a language because that's how babies learn to speak : they start listening to people and then repeating. I also try to speak with natives the most as much as I can, even if I'm a beginner, because the language is made to be spoken. Of course, I have classes (in English, German, Russian and Chinese), books, workbooks... to study the vocabulary and the grammar. Finally, I write about many topics to improve my written expression and my vocabulary.

I'd like to become a translator-interpreter, but I don't know in which languages yet. I'm interested in a lot of languages, especially the Slavic and Indo-Iranian languages, but I don't think that I can work in all of them, because I have to be fluent.

Bye ! :)  You write really well!
