Why I want to learn English (some kind of an essay; I guess there will be a lot of mistakes)
I don't want to dwell on practical justifications of learning English or insist that the language of Shakespeare is more beautiful than the roses (in spite of that, it is not much of exaggaration), or explain how important is a fluent English for journalist who I am. English fluency is for journalists such as me.
I just want to clear up the simplest idea.
Each person in our holy Earth is looking for someone special, for a soul mate, significant other or better half – you can name it as you want. 'you can call it whatever you want' would sound better here
And everyone knows the story about the city of Babel. People spoke the same language. They wanted to make a name for themselves so that they would not be scattered over the world, but God confounded their speech.
We are kind of put up on involved in a/dealing with a/etc. constant search. We are seeking for looking for/seeking ('seeking for' isn't used, but 'looking for' is. Strange, isn't it?) someone who would understand us completely, love us desperately, support us compassionately and need us obsessively.
And our possibility to find this person is much more pale without knowing English. It’s not mockery or just a shot to being creative. (I'm not sure what you're saying.)
The irony (Where's the irony?) is, that a some proof is based on my own experience. Recently I was trapped with in a situation, when I was stuck in a word, almost totally muted and confused. I fancied a guy very much, and I wanted to say so many things to him, to share memories, to become with him as a pair of two people who know each other the best in the world.
I gave a shot, but it ended up in a mid-friendship (?). We were lack for lacked words; we were lack for lacked time, experience and space. And a language barrier is still an argument.
I’m certain that falling in love for the at first sight is a lame idea. People can’t have stories like in the falling-in-love montage of romantic movies. Let’s bring it down to earth; it doesn’t work. You would need too many lucky coincidences and circumstances, and to hit the jackpot of success to make it work.
You should not only able to say: “I love you”, but also to explain why. And if you could achieve it you will make friends even with dead. (I'm not sure what you're saying.)
I want to become a conversational wizard.
