What is like to be Quadrilingual for a Japanese

I am Japanese and I was born in Japan and lived there for 20 years.
Later, I went to the USA and lived there for 4 years. I always had passion for languages that I sneaked in Italian classes and I was learning Italian for free.

When I was working for family swimming pool, I kept Spanish vocablaries memo pad in my hand that I was working and studying. I did not want to lose any moment to study languages for the coming opportunities.

My pursue for languages also reached French that I also went to Paris for a month to study French at the Institue of Catholics. My focus was always to study abroad and learn languages and I did not have any doubt why I do that.

The last destination was Venice: at first I did not know that why the destiny took me to this place.
Little by little, I started to figure out why I was brought here. This city is perfect for multilingual type. First 1 or 2 years living here, I was not sure what I wanted to do here, so I started dancing with Italian contemporary dance team. However, as a Japanese if I speak Japanese, English and Italian I realized that I have so many opportunites here.

All what I pursued was appreciated and the destiny bought me to this magical town.
As a matter of fact, I felt mental stress because I did not understand Italian perfectly that sometimes I felt frtustrated not to be able to express myself fully. However, who knows 2 or 3 years, I might just just get used to it and I might be able to understand more and more.

What I do is to learn 10 vocablaries a day. This is a technique that a British English teacher taught me how to learn languages. When I was a high school girl, I was told that I have an ability to learn languages. Back then I was just into English watching all American moveis. Personally learning by heart 10 vocablaries a day really works. I highly recommend for a person who wants to learn foregin languages.

Learning new languages expand your possibility in your life a lot. You can meet new people not only in your country but also you can communicate with various people from all over the world.

Sky is the limit.
