Well, for this question, I’d like to mention  my mother, a lady who speaks Japanese quite well. However she seldom uses  Japanese now. She learnt that foreign language almost 30 years ago when she  was still a university student. She studied English at that time along with  some Japanese. Foreign languages were used often during that period for both  academic study and daily life as my mom went to Japan occasionally. Later,  she chose a job that was not relevant to Japanese and therefore, her first  language, which is Chinese, was used more often in her work rather than the  foreign language Japanese. As for the reasons why she can speak a foreign  language well, the most significant one is that she is really interested in  learning different languages. She is fond of learning new skills especially  those related with communication. Since interest is the best teacher, once  someone enjoys learning in specific fields, the progress is supposed to be  huge. There are also some other reasons. For example, Japanese, to some  extent, is similar to Chinese, which is our mother tongue as some Japanese characters  are evolved from Chinese. Hence, for Chinese learners, Japanese seems to be  easier to learn compared to other foreign languages such as Russian, German  and French. In addition, the experience that she visited Japan also helped  her learning Japanese owing to the language environment given in Japan as  pure language environment was expected to assist language learning.
