3 Questions

a) Why are you studying English? Explain with details.
 I am studying English for two reasons. First, because I think English is one of the most popular language in the world. In many countries we can find very easly a lot of peoples that can speak English, and also it is require language in anywhere. Second, I like learn and study different language and culture because I love to travel and meet different kinds of people. I think is very awesome too that I can understand and speak different language without translater. In conclusion I am studying English because English is very popular and require language in the world and I think learn new language is very helpfull and fun thing to me.

b) Do you use English very much when you're not in this class? Explain what situations you need to use it in.
 Honestly I do not use English very much, but I often try to use a lot English as many time that I can  if i have some situation that I need to speak in English. For example, in my Japanese class there are many people that can speak very well english, but I am very shy to talk with them because I am not very well in English as them. But sometime they asked me something or talked me, I usually answered them in very short words. I know if I really want to improve English I need to practice, talk and listen a lot it, so in this semester I tried more to not be shy and answered  them by more long words and clearly. In another case, I try to spend more time with my friends that can not speak my language, korean or spanish, because when I stay with them I can practice speaking and listening in English. Sometimes they taught me how to pronunciated some difficult words and it was really helpfull to me. Also I try to make a situation to speak in English such as
talk with my professor, repeat some hard words and read with the low voice a book.

c) How do you feel when you use English? Are you sometimes nervous, comfortable, or...? Explain. 
 I usually feel very shy when I speak in English. The reasons why I feel like that I think is because my vocabularies are  very poor yet and also the vocabularies that I know are very limitted when I speak with someone.  The another reason that I think is because while I am speaking in English, I often need to organize first in my mind; structure; and I need some time to translate some vocabularies. I think that I need more practice to thinking in English first and try to do not think in my language. Also when I speak in English I worry first for my pronunciation, so I feel very uncomfortable many times.

  2. I use English outside of class, but sometime when I stay with my korean friends I used more Korean because is more comfortable to me yet. I feel very shy while I am speaking English because I am not used to yet during I use English and I need more practice and experience to talk in English with other peoples.
