Learning a New Language

I started learning Japanese few months ago because it is a main course I have to take it at school. Actually it is not new to me but I totally forget it althought I have learned it when I was a college student. Learning a new language is quite a challenge to me now becasue I am not a full time student and I am much older to learn it by memorizing it. I still can remember that the first time I learnt English when I was a junior high school student. It was a subject to me for benig a student and I wasn't interested in it. At beginning of learning English, I didn't learn very well and I couldn't memorize A-Z both capital and little letter in order. When I was in grade two of junior high school I liked to listen to English songs and movies then I made a little progress. After that, English is not only a subject to me but it was more interesting to me. Especially, when I watched movies or listened to songs and I understood them then I was very happy and it made me want to learn more. I think learning a new language you must find the interests and motivation to attract you to learn and that will be the best way to learn a new language. I hope I can find the interests when I learn Japanese. Also hope it is not only a subject to me but a useful language.
