My experience in learning languages

我的母語是中文，我也會說台語、英文和一些西班牙語。我會說台語，因為從小我的爸爸和爺爺常常跟我說台語。在台灣有很多人會說台語，尤其是在台灣的南部。我的大學在南部，我的同學他們都會說台語，我的台語還不太流利。有時候我想說台語的時候，我會不小心說出英文或是西班牙文。

我的英文還不錯，我覺得是因為我高中的時候看了太多的美劇。那時候我也喜歡看英文小說，我覺得那些東西比學校的課本有意思。另外，我也學會唱了許多的英文歌。我喜歡唱歌，有時候我覺得我的聲音挺好聽的，哈哈。大概兩年前，在我去墨西哥之後，我開始學習了西班牙語。

剛開始我挺懶的，不太認真讀書。後來因為學生介紹給我一些西文歌，讓我開始對西班牙語有興趣。因為我想了解他們在唱什麼，我想會說西班牙語。我覺得西班牙語很好聽， 有一種魅力。

我覺得學習語言可以很難，也可以很簡單。如果我們有興趣，願意花時間學，就感覺比較簡單。如果我們沒什麼興趣，就感覺比較難。

My mother tongue is Mandarin Chinese, I can also speak Taiwanese, English, and some Spanish. I can speak Taiwanese, because since I was young my dad and my grandfather often speak Taiwanese to me. In Taiwan many people can speak Taiwanese, especially in the south part of Taiwan. My university is in the south part, my classmates they all can speak Taiwanese. My Taiwanese is not very fluent yet. Sometimes when I want to speak Taiwanese, I would accidentally speak (out) in English and Spanish.

My English is pretty good, I think it’s because when I was in senior high school I watched too many American tv series. At that time I also like reading English novels, I think those things are more interesting than the textbooks in the school. Aside from that, I also learned to sing many English songs. I like singing, sometimes I think my voice is pretty good, haha.

Around two years ago, after I went to Mexico, I started to learn Spanish. In the beginner I was pretty lazy, I didn’t study very seriously. And later on because my students introduced me some Spanish songs. It let me start to be interested in Spanish. Because I want to have understandings of what they’re singing. I want to be able to speak Spanish. I think Spanish is good-sounding. It has this kind of charm.

I think learning a language can be hard, it can also be simple. If we’re interested, and willing to spend time to learn, then it feels easier. If we’re not that interested, then it feels more difficult.
