언어

My 'Japanese language teachers'

My 'Russian language teacher'. 안녕 is Привет.

(Pictures above are that of my classmates introducing their mother tongues in Korean language during lesson time)

My Chinese friends were full of admiration what I said I am proficient in both English and Chinese. Being effectively bilingual is their dream but a difficult one. I could fully appreciate their sentiments. I didn't have it easy as well.

Now that I know a third language, I am more open to foreign languages. Language to me, previously, is an exam subject that I had to pass. Today, I view it as a communication tool. If I have the wish to communicate, then learning a new 'tool' is not a big problem.
