Travel English

Hello, how are you? I would like a drink. How much is that drink?
Written above is a common English sentence asked when traveling. It is very useful to learn English before going on vacation. English is one of the most widely spoken languages and almost everywhere you go it is spoken. Learning simple English sentences can help with communication and making sure things go well. Asking for things in English will show the native people that you took time to learn their language and this will go a long way. Tourists who speak the native language are treated with more respect. Let's get real, there is nothing more frustrating than not understanding anything in the country you are visiting. Immersing yourself in a new language can be very rewarding. Take the step and learn English before traveling. You won't regret it!

Learning English

One of my greatest achievements has been my university degree. After I graduated I started working in Madrid. After many years working there I was unemployed and I realized that the most important thing to finding a good job in Spain is to know how to speak english properly. All my life I have been making excuses for not learning english because I thought that it was not necessary so now learning english is a huge challenge for me.
I decided to enrol for a course at the English School and I am attending classes twice a week. At first I found learning English quite difficult. It was the pronunciation I had trouble with but then I started to improve with a lot of effort. One thing I tried was listening english as much as I could, on TV and on the radio with my headphones so my listening and pronunciation began to improve.
Now I like learning english and althought it is not an easy language to learn. Sometimes I get very frustrated because I make a lot of mistakes but step by step I feel like I have achieved a lot.
I have learned that it is never too late when people want to learn new things.
