I think in the future I would like to learn how to play guitar. My brother actually knows how to, and he learned two years ago during the summertime, and I was offered to go, too. My father told me it would be a good, um, thing to spend my summer with, but I was so busy with my studies, I was actually learning French at that time, so I had to say no. But, uh, hearing my brother play different songs every day on the guitar, I really now want to learn, uh, how to play it myself because I think, um, knowing how to, uh, play an instrument is always so impressive. And I actually know how to play piano, but I don’t own, uh, one now, so. So I think I have actually forgotten how to play a piano. And as we have a guitar in our house, I want to learn, uh, how to play it in the future. Actually, my brother says that, um, it’s so easy to learn. And, uh, there are various videos on the YouTube that I can actually, um, learn how to play guitar with. And I think I will do it in the future. I don’t know when, but I have to make a plan to, um, learn it someday. And, uh, I want to learn this because I think, um, I have an ability to learn, uh, how to play an instrument. I think I’m very skilled at this because when I was learning how to play piano, my teacher always said that I, uh, understood all of the music rules, and I was so harmonious when I was playing it. So, yes,

In the future, I'd love to learn how to play the guitar. My brother actually picked it up a couple of years ago during the summer, and I was invited to join him. My dad thought it would be a great way to spend the summer, but I was swamped with my studies, especially since I was learning French at the time. So, I had to decline. But hearing my brother play different songs on the guitar every day really sparked my interest. I want to learn how to play myself because I think knowing how to play an instrument is incredibly impressive. I actually used to play the piano, but I don't own one anymore, so I've probably forgotten how to play. Since we have a guitar at home, I'm determined to learn how to play it in the future. My brother even says it's surprisingly easy to pick up. There are tons of tutorials on YouTube that I can use to learn. I definitely plan on doing it, just not sure when. I need to make a plan to dedicate some time to it. I'm motivated because I believe I have a natural ability to learn instruments. I think I'm quite skilled at it. When I was learning piano, my teacher always praised my understanding of music theory and how harmoniously I played. So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to learning guitar.
