My English Learning Journey
My English learning journey started when I was 5 years old. Right at that age, my parents hired me a tutor, with whom I'm still learning English. After 10
years, we have become really good friends. I also have English lessons at school since the second grade. However, if you only learn English in school,
you probably won’t be able to reach a high level of proficiency. So in addition to learning English with a tutor, I also study English on my own.
Some of my hobbies include programming and 3D modeling. When I started pursuing these hobbies, I began watching tutorial videos in English, which
helped me a lot. I also watch films in English.
English has been immensely beneficial to me. Another advantage of learning English is that it facilitates learning other languages. For example, I'm
currently learning French, and some words sound and are spelled very similarly to their English counterparts. Moreover, English aids in programming, as
code becomes more than just random words. One of the main benefits of knowing English is the ease of communication with people from other countries.
Thanks to English, I have made friends from various parts of the world, and these friendships are very dear to me.
