People have different reasons for learning. I call it " motivation". Having motivation or purpose is very important. Why?

It will determine how much time and effort you will put in learning a new language. For example, a student studying for a formal test like the IELTS will probably spend more time learning that someone who learns because of leisure.

I for one started learning English at 6 years old because I know that English is important. But as the years go by, my motivation is clearer and it also changes. 

What about you .. What is your motivation in learning a language?

Is it for travel?

Is it for work?

Is it for immigration purposes?

Or you might have a dream of becoming a polyglot?
