可是哪個語言比較好？韓文是他的母語，英文他說得非常好了，日文他很喜歡但是只有日本人說。他想了想最後決定了西班牙語，因為他聽說這是一種美麗的語言，還有有非常多的國家都說這個語言。可是哪个语言比较好？韩文是他的母语，英文他说得非常好了，日文他很喜欢但是只有日本人说。他想了想最后决定了西班牙语，因为他听说这是一种美丽的语言，还有有非常多的国家都说这个语言。

I Love To Travel

Li Xiaoma is a young man who loves traveling. This July, he plans to start his journey. He enjoys meeting new friends, so he has prepared some gifts for people he’ll meet during his travels. Li Xiaoma intends to learn a new language while traveling.

But which language is better? Korean is his native language, he speaks English very well, and he likes Japanese, but only Japanese people speak it. After some thought, he finally decided on Spanish because he heard it’s a beautiful language and is spoken in many countries.

After starting his journey, Li Xiaoma first went to Spain. There, he not only learned Spanish but also gained a lot of knowledge about Spanish culture. He enjoys this method of learning, so he decided that he will do the same during every trip in the future.
