Learning stories

At slightly irregular intervals we feature a language learning story of one of you. Each language learning journey is unique - whether you love or hate learning languages, whether you feel you're 'talented' or your talents lie elsewhere, I want to hear about how you learned English, what you enjoy and what you find challenging. Send me your answers to the these ten questions if you'd like to share your English experience with other readers. It'd be lovely to hear from you.

  1. What’s your mother tongue?

  2. What foreign languages do you speak?

  3. What is your favourite language? Why?

  4. Do you remember your first English lesson? Tell me any details you can remember. How did you feel?

  5. Do you have a favourite English word or phrase? Why do you like it?

  6. Are you studying English at the moment? Why? Where? Do you have a teacher? How often do you study?

  7. What do you like (or love!) about the English language? Why?

  8. What do you not like (or hate)? Why? What do you find most challenging?

  9. What do you want to be doing better in English in the future? Why are you learning?

  10. Do you have a personal learning tip for others?
