I love learning English because it gives me the opportunity to express my ideas to other people from different countries.
It's important for my career. It's an international language. I wanted to continue my education. It's important for my business.
When I started learning English I felt frustrated and happy at the same time. I felt frustrated when I started learning grammar. That was a nightmare.
I realised that I was starting to make good progress when I started noticing my own mistakes during the conversation.
The first time I spoke to a native speaker, I was overwhelmed. It was awkward, like I'm in a movie but without translation. I felt like I am an alien and I spoke with person from another planet. I felt anxious and nervous but it was a really good experience.
I met a member of British parliament. I met my amazing girlfriend. I met my husband because I speak English.
Speaking English gives me a lot of opportunities to meet new people and more freedom if I want travel in the world; a competitive edge in my working place; the opportunity to know what's happening all around the world and now I can do the things I want to do.
