Learning English

"I’ve learnt a lot of my English from YouTube and even have my own channel. I've posted more than 100 videos. I talk about anything I like. Listening to myself speak English is really useful. Online friends helped me with my pronunciation. In this video, I open the AFS envelope to find out where I'm going for my exchange year. I was SO excited.

School in Belgium

Actually, we learn a lot of languages in Belgium. I come from the Dutch-speaking part so we learn that language first. I started to learn French when I was 10, English when I was 13 and German when I was 15. I also chose to learn Spanish as well. I took 16 subjects in Belgium, including 5 languages, Maths, PE, music, art and three sciences. We have lots of homework so, in some ways, it's quite similar to Hong Kong. Belgian students have more freedom. Teachers won't remind us to do homework.

On a school trip to Barcelona in Spain Last year I sort of organized the senior year prom of my school.

Learning Cantonese

Now I'm learning Cantonese! The grammar is quite easy but the tones are really hard to get right! And most people want to speak English to me so I don't get much chance to practice.

School in Hong Kong

My school is great. I have lots of friends and everyone is helpful. Here are photos to prove it!

After training with the school jazz dance team With my classmates, Angel, Hilda and Kristen, at our Christmas party Cheering my school at an interschool sports day. We were yelling, "KYD HURRY UP!"

Going home

I will leave Hong Kong in June with many happy memories. I'm looking forward to seeing my parents, younger sister and friends. My family lives in a small town, beside a field. My life will be totally different but I'll show you on my YouTube channel. See you there!"
