English is my native language. Besides , I can speak French and Spanish . I studied the two languages when I was at high school . Now , I am still learning Spanish at the university . As for me , mastering a foreign language is not easy . After studying a foreign language, practice is very necessary and useful . Traveling to the country where the target languages spoken is very helpful , but if you can not speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles . I also frequently go to the movies, watch television , listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn . Reading is another good way to learn . Books are good , but I personally think
