Learning language

Sometimes, one idea comes up to my mind that why I need to learn English everyday like this. Actually, I always have an itch to push my English to advanced level. And I struggle very hard and spend much money learning. I wonder if I were an English native-speaker, I could spend my time learning the other things. For example, I can learn other language such as Chinese. I need to spend so much time to learn foreign language meanwhile the others have already owned that.

To me, I really like learning Chinese. Suffice to say that Chinese is nearer to my language. And my language and Chinese maybe have the same language family or my language more or less be affected by Chinese. Evidently, we face the most advantageous problem in learning Chinese in writing. Because Chinese language using the characters which not familiar to my language writing using the latin alphabet. But the characters also have strong appeal to me. Don’t know why. Maybe because I have the very uncanny way of holding pen when I write, look like the way of a Confucian scholar. To a certain extent, maybe just simply because I like it. I don’t know. Surely, maybe it will cost me at least 10 years more to read books in China. But whatever, I will set plan.

I remember in a morning class when I was still in high school. My teacher told me, she was really humorous, that there were 3 things that we cannot choose. Those are our names, our family, and our nation. The thing we can change is just our attitude to the life. And now every time, I have the tired feeling, wanna give up whilst learning language. I remember that the only thing I can change is my attitude. So, I keep moving on and go ahead.
