- The reason I want to learn English is I have to do so . I study in NYC and English is a must. For students at school here, all classes teach in English. I live in Chinatown and I don't speak English in my daily life in the community. My English professor said my grammar is bad and she suggests me to do the language exchange to improve my English. I thought the fast way to learn English is look forward to meeting with native English speaking language exchange partner. You can learn the conversation practice. It doesn't work for me. iI am worry about meeting with a stranger. It's not safety to do so before you get well with the person you are going to meet, especially for woman. For me, I thought English a "universal language" , if you speak very well English, you can make a lot of friends from all over the world. And I would like to learn more English in order to me to learn more American culture. I love to listen radio to learn English.0 votedJanuary 1, 20150
