I'm here because I think Journaly is a really great way to practise and improve language skills. I am German and I learned English and French at school. While I used English after school my French is almost forgotten. At the moment I'm learning Italian and Japanese. Apart from languages I like reading and writing, walking and talking, swimming, playing the piano and sewing.
