Learning languages to get connected with people
English is my first learnt foreign language.
I've started studying English when I was thirteen and I haven't stop doing so until now, on my early thirties.
I do love learning languages and I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people on their native tongue or at least on a common foreign language as English happens to be to the marjority of bilingual people all over the world.
I work on a multinational company and I have to talk and discuss about technical and business matters with a bunch of people from at least three different nationalities (Germans, Indians, and Swedes) - not to mention people from other nationalities that currently live in Germany.
Because of those foreign colleagues living in Germany I felt the urge to learn Spanish, so that I would be able to communicate with then on their native tongue as this really matters when one wants to get connected with people . So, here I am on italki, striving to learn Spanish.
Although it's quite close to my mothern language I sometimes find myself mixing things up between both of them or even with English, believe it or not.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to learn so much from italki community, you guys really rock!

This is a run-on sentence in English. You have three complete thoughts here.
I do love learning languages / I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people on their native tongue or at least on a common foreign language/ English happens to be to the majority of bilingual people all over the world
For a complex sentence do this:I do love learning languages; it is so powerful to be able to communicate with people in their native tongue or at least in a common foreign language, such as English, which happens to be a common foreign language to the majority of bilingual people all over the world.
Else, smaller sentences will work fine.I do love learning languages. I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people in their native tongue or at least in a common foreign language. English, for example, happens to be a common language to the majority of bilingual people all over the world.

English is my first learnt foreign language. I believe learnt is correct, but its not really that usual, at least for me. I would probably say "English was my first foreign language"

I do love learning languages and I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people in on their native tongue or at least in on a common foreign language such as English, which happens to be a common foreign language to be to the majority marjority of bilingual people all over the world.

I work for a multinational company and I have to talk and discuss ( or ...I have to discuss technical and...) about technical and business matters with a bunch of people from of (use "of" for nationalities and "from" for places) at least three different nationalities (Germans, Indians, and Swedes) - not to mention people from of other nationalities that currently live in Germany.
Because of these those foreign colleagues living in Germany I felt the urge to learn Spanish, so that I would be able to communicate with then on in their native tongue as since this really matters when one wants to get connected with people . So, here I am on italki, striving to learn Spanish.
Although it's quite close to my native mothern language I sometimes find myself mixing things up between both of (<-not wrong, just not needed) them or and even with English, believe it or not.
