V. Read the passage, then do the tasks below :
One thing that was really a turning point for me was when I learned Spanish. I was always scared of learning a foreign language, yet I was really envious of kids who could speak another language. But when I started learning Spanish, I found I was actually pretty good at it, and the moment I reached that breakthrough stage – you know , when you discover you can actually speak and communicate with people in the language- I felt really proud of myself. I realized that learning a foreign language wasn’t impossible thing after all. Now I can speak three: Spanish, Italian, and German. And I’m taking Korean this year.
