Learning Language

I really like learning language. To me learning language is an interesting activity. It is interesting because I can listen to different sounds of words which can be produced by different people. I can also learn about different custom, culture, and way of thinking of people in a certain country just by learning the language.
The first foreign language i;ve learned is English. I learned English when i was in the second grade of elementary school. AT that time my teacher only taught me about how to make sentence more or less "it is a ...." and to reply a question: yes it os or no it isn't. I rarely read an English text at that time. When i was in Junior High, my English was progressing. In the second grade i started to send letters to my English teacher. I learned English by myself and the first skill that i master is writing. Then i started to learn the second skill which was speaking. But not direct speaking. I chat to foreigners through chat room like the #chatworld, #worldchat,#teenchat, etc.

Then i gained my listening skill by watching film with English subtitle. It helps me to know some new vocabulary. Songs also taught me pronunciation and listening skill. I've started to listen to English songs since o was about 10 years old. The for reading i've started when i was in junior high. My mother used to buy me some English magazine. Though i don't understand the meaning but i kept on reading it. Then slowly i learned how to pronunce correectly and in the end to understand the meaning completely.
The second foreign language that I ever learned is Italian. I learned from books, but it was only for about less than 3 months. Then i quit learning.
The third foreign language that i've learned is French. To me learning French is more difficult than Engglish.The structure is different. Even worse, th pronunctaion is so difficult. I've learned it for more than a year, but not continuous. And unfortunately i haven't had any time to expose myself more to this language. The input and the exposures are a few. So i was at the novice level, and the worst is now i almost forget my French.
Though learning language takes time and need hard work, i really like it. I want to be a polyglot )someone who speaks many languages). Maybe 2 more languages? Hopefully
