Why do you study foreign language?

I am Chinese, my English was horrible bad, i just could say ABC in the past, but my friend(he is a Chinese also) would go to Austria, I very want to go with him, so , I did my best to study English. Now, my English not very well I think, but it is too much better than I could do. I studied Enlish just for I want to go with my friend, but now, I'd like to study English, If my English was good, I could talk with foreign people, I could write in English, I could watch English books.what about you?my friends?

I also love languages and traveling. I think you will have no problems to establish basic conversations with people from all over the world in English. I come across problems when trying to do things more sofisticated, or talking to native English speakers from Scotland (I don't understand a single word).

 

Like you, I learn English hard everyday. What irritates me most is when I travel to an English speaking country and I encounter people with Asian origin working or living there, and I don't understand them at all. They often get angry and feel surprised like if was a racist o something, but the true is that some people, even if they are born there, have a terrible accent, very different from the standard one. Anyway, I know It is my problem, not theirs, so I will have to focus on listening and work harder.

Do you mean Australia or Austria? We speak English in Australia, but you'd need to learn German to go to Austria.
