I have always wanted to be bilingual or even multilingual, so apart from English and Chinese, French is another language I wish to learn.

Honestly speaking, French was never at the top of my list of must-learn languages. At first, I planned on learning Japanese. But then, when I recalled my time learning Chinese during high school and the fact that Japanese can actually be even more difficult, I don’t think I could ever remember all of the letters, let alone make out what they mean. So, I had to resort to French, which I think will somehow be easier as it shares most of the English Latin alphabet.

A second language is obligatory in my faculty, so I guess I will be learning French at university. Many of my friends recommended some language centers, but I have no problems studying French at my university. It can be stressful at times as the score will count toward my GPA, but I will take that as motivation to learn this language seriously.

Learning a language is no doubt a difficult and frustrating task. It took me years to master my English, and I know it will take no less to have a relatively good command of French. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves; I will just have to take baby steps. But I think I’m ready for this challenge.
