One of my interests had recently been the study of foreign languages. It is fascinating to look at various languages and see how they are related in some way. I have studied Spanish formally in a class for one year. I also studied Japanese on my own free time for nearly a year, while dabbling a bit in Indonesian, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai as well. For anyone thinking of learning a foreign language, I suggest you make sure you understand grammar and sentence structure first, as it makes it a lot easier!
