Learning Some Languages

Learning languages is fun but sometimes difficult. I take 2 languages in this semester, they are Dutch and Italian. I love learning new languages, especially European languages. I notice that European languages like French, Dutch, and Italian have many rules in constructing sentences. Unlike English, each thing even has gender in European languages. For example, television in Italian is female, cinema are male, and so on. The main problem is that we cannot know directly whether the thing is male or female. It is learned by heart as the book said. Besides, we can also know by using dictionary.
I learned French as well when I was in the first semester. Besides having many rules, the way we pronounce the word is different with the written form, even it has certain voice to produce; that is why I think it is the most difficult language.
Now, I am enjoying learning Dutch and Italian. The lecturer in Dutch class is very kind and intelligent. He makes me understand every part of the materials. He is Indonesian so I feel easy to learn it. There is an Australian in this class and he told me that he felt difficult to learn Dutch because he had to do double translation for the lecturer uses Indonesian language to teach.
The lecturer in Italian class is really funny. His name is Fabio, he is native Italian. We love the way he teaches us because he always makes jokes in every meeting that do not make us boring when learning the language. However, it is quite difficult to understand what he speaks since his accent is very strong. He likes to add the hard sound in every English word he says. Sometimes I do not understand what he is talking about but I become more understand after the class proceeds for 3 meetings.
I have a big responsible in every week now. I have to remember all the rules in Dutch and Italian. Though it is difficult, I try to study hard understanding the rules for it is my own choice to learn two languages at the same time. However I do not consider it as a burden, I enjoy it very much. My intention is not about speaking the languages but understanding grammar. When I was 9 years old studying English for the first time, I learned grammar, not speaking or any other thing. So I am sure I am better at writing than speaking. Writing here means constructing sentences using a good grammar. I am more interested in learning it. Speaking can be learned by practicing and I tend to emphasize my skill on grammar.
