why am I learning English? why am I learning English? Since childhood, I have a great desire-to travel. Well, whether on foot or by bike, it doesn't matter by car. I always wanted to get to know the world better. I want to talk heart to heart with foreign people, I want to read books in English and understand the meaning or translate in my head without any difficulties. To travel, I need to know at least 90 percent English, because there are more than 400 million people in the world who speak English.
