Hello everyone, I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster.
I'm 26, Irish, and currently teaching in Japan. I grew up bi-lingual in Ireland, English at home and I went to a Gaelscoil, an all Irish language medium primary school. My Irish level is sadly not where it once was, especially my writing skills, hopefully it is just dormant! I sat in French classes in secondary school. I did not enjoy the grammar heavy focus and poor explanations in that system.After five years I could produce verb charts and chat about how to get to the train station. Over the years I have dabbled in a few languages, fixed my French, learned some Persian, Russian, and German. My main weakness is my lack of consistency. I tend to flit from one language project to the next. I am hoping that by getting involved on the forum that I will become a more disciplined language learner. My pet peeves are: People that say 'Learn language X instead of Y because *gives spurious reason*', 'X is an easy language to learn/has no grammar', 'Irish is useless, we should teach Chinese instead'. My loves: Arsenal football club, reading, and watching terrible movies like 'Sharknado' My language goals for 2014 are: Improve my limited Japanese (I am only here for a few months so I will be happy with a comfortable basic level) I also want to focus on improving my Russian and finally starting Spanish (I wanted to learn it at school but my school only offered French) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
