Examiner
What languages can you speak?
Candidate
The only language I can speak is Japanese because it is my mother tongue. I am learning English right now, but it is very difficult for me to learn everything because sentences, pronunciations, grammars are very different from that in Japanese.
Examiner
Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?
Candidate
Yes, I think learning new languages is very challenging because a grammar or a pronunciation of Japanese is very unique, so it is difficult for many Japanese people to learn new ones.
Examiner
Will you learn other languages in the future?
Candidate
Yes, in the near future, I want to learn Spanish, uh, because I like football and, uh, the experience of learning will uh, make my life much happier than before. But I think my priority is learning English because it is, uh, dominant language.
Examiner
