Well , I studied French at school , but I ’ Ve forgotten most of it . I learnt some Russian while I was studying there and now I study Spanish in evening classes . Do you speak Japanese at home with your parents ?

How do you find studying a language on the internet ?
neutral
assistant
It ’ s not easy , particularly with listening and speaking , because sometimes the connection isn ’ t too good .

I bet you find the character difficult to write !
neutral
assistant
Actually , many of the characters are the same or very similar in both Chinese and Japanese , so they ’ re easy for me .

So , you can read and write much better than you speak and understand other speakers , right ?
neutral
assistant
Yes . How are the Spanish classes going ?
neutral

In a way , it ’ s similar to your experience of learning Chinese . Some Spanish words are very similar to English ones . But I need to practise listening to native speakers and saying the words myself .
