Why am I learning English? When I was a student, I had to study English to get high grades on a test. I repeatedly used to memorize a lot of vocabularies, read English texts and solve quizzes. As I did in my country, a number of people all over the world study English as a second language. And even children whose first language is not English start learning English at a young age. I have thought about why. English is the most commonly spoken language in the world. If I speak English very well, I won't need to rely on translations and subtitles anymore to enjoy my favorite books, songs, films and TV shows. I'll be able to access the information I want much more easily. English is also the language of the Internet. Because of living in Internet Society, we're always using the Internet. Many websites are written in English. Even the programming language is English. There are many other reasons. But one of the biggest reasons I'm learning English is that by learning English, I'll also learn about other cultures. These experiences will make me grow as a person who is learning the values, habits, and way of life in a culture that is different from mine. And I want to be able to support my daughter 's dream of making friends around the world, so I'm learning English.
