I learned English at The Memorial Elementary School in Framingham (Mass) USA. There I became passionate of reading books… a wonderful way to start a child’s journey through the world in a time when we didn’t have the internet.
On the one side, growing bilingual, made me feel a little different from the other children but it also opened my life to many opportunities which I couldn’t even envisage!
Just to mention a few….
I was employed by Ferrari, the most famous car manufacturer in the world and years later I could travel to China for a field research for my University Thesis. My knowledge of Chinese was poor, but luckily I could interview many cultured Chinese people speaking in English!
In other words…whether you are looking for a new job or planning to travel the world, studying English can help you progress in life both personally and professionally. You can compete in the global job market, increase your career skills and start meeting people in person around the world or connecting with people on the internet.
These are just a few but good reasons enough to think about learning or improving your English.
