Why you learn English? It’s a normal question, Since I start to learn English, lots of people asked me this question? My answer for that, sometimes I replied that My work don’t use English right now, but in the future, good language skill will made me find a good job easily. Sometimes I said It’s a interesting thing for me and I just need to do something on my leisure time. Sincerely, learning some languages are not need reasons.

Why do you learn English? This is a question that lots of people have asked me since I started learning English. To answer that, sometimes I say that, although I don’t use English at my current work, having good language skills will make it easy for me to find a good job in the future. Sometimes I say that it’s an interesting thing for me and that  I just need to do something on my free time. Honestly, learning languages is something that needs no reasons. It is just a way to understand other cultures and learning a second language is a very interesting thing.
