How English is important for students in Peru

Many students in Peru don't speak English even me. When I was 16 years old, I finished the school and I started looking for a career which is International Business. Then I realised that for my career, it would be necessary to learn English and Portuguese.

At school, a private school in Peru, the english classes were boring but I could learnt some words and grammar. However, it was not enough to comunicate with people from other countries. I wish I would have had a good teacher and a good English plan at school.

At the moment that I started to study International business, it was a little tricky but now I don't have problems with the words and grammar. Before studying English I was studying Portuguese which is easier for me because this language is very similar to Spanish and It took me 4 months to finish.

Anyway, I would have liked to learn english when I was at school because when you are at university or institut , you might have some troubles to learn new languages. Recently, the schools are changing but not all of them. For instance, imagine a national school (or government school) where teachers have a poor salary but thankfully, it is changing . :)
