i have been learning languages since i was  11. back then the main reason i started language was because i didnt want  sanyone to know what i was saying or writing and i didnt really take language learning seriously untill i was 12 or 13  when i would go to the french teachers room and he would give me a dictionary, then when i started french my goal was just to learn a language so i switched to spanish. when i got to highschool only class i was interested in  was spanish and i learn alot and found out spanish was the only language that would stick to my brain like the vocabulary and grammar.
