Hi everybody! Welcome back to Top Words my name is Alisha, and today we're gonna
be talking about 10Reasons to Learn English. So these are some ways that you
can respond to the question "why are you learning English?" Let's go!
I love the culture and the people who speak the language.
Oh, why, thank you! Maybe choose or know which culture or which kind of English
you're the most interested in.
I love traveling.
You are the kind of person who wants to go too many different countries
and you want to be able to speak to the people in those countries, presumably english-speaking countries,
you can say I love traveling.
I want to open my mind and become more international.
If you live in a country where, you know, the culture
there's maybe just your home country's language, and just your home
country's culture, and there's not a lot of mixing, as there is, for example, in
America. Maybe use this phrase with your co-worker, with your family members to
say I want to, maybe, change my mindset a little bit, i want to explore things
beyond this culture, beyond this language.
I want to understand my favorite songs, movies, and TV shows
the next reason is
I want to understand my favorite songs, movies, and TV shows.
This is a really really popular reason for learning another language. I think not just English
but if there's a TV show, a movie that you really really like, and you want to understand it
and enjoy it on another level, you can try to understand it in the language that the movie is presented.
In this case, in English. I think it's a really fun motivation for learning another language.
The language is useful for my job.
If you're the kind of person or if you have
the kind of job that requires you speak to people from other countries, English
might be really really useful for you. So you can say the language is useful for
my job, or I need English for my work, something like that.
I'm learning the language to impress someone.
This could have many different meanings, maybe it means you're interested
romantically in someone and you want to impress them, maybe that person
is a native speaker of English, and you think, oh I want to learn English to
impress that guy, or impress that girl.
Fine! Great! Honestly that's a really good motivation for learning another language
is one thing to be able to speak fluently to that person in that language
great, like that being said, i don't know that i would say i'm learning the
language to impress someone.
I live next to a country speaking that language.
Maybe you share borders with an English-speaking country
learning English could be useful for you, or fun for you
Okay!
I want to speak to my partner's family in their language.
So maybe you and your partner share a common language
and you can communicate together, but maybe your
partner's family does not have that same common language. you maybe decide i want
to learn some of the language, so that i can communicate with my partner's family.
That might be a good reason to study!
It's part of my university studies.
If it's part of your university course, or if you're required to learn a language in
your university or high school, other school, you can say it's part of my
university studies, or I have to take a language. That's a phrase that we use, a
phrase that we use in my college, i think, i have to take a language.
Don't forget that i have to take a language, or I have to take english for
two years, something like that.
I just love learning languages.
The next expression, very positive! It's just I love learning languages.
I just love learning languages, maybe you're the type of person who just really really is
interested, and you can say i just love learning languages, i think it's really
interesting. That's a cool reason.
So those are 10 reasons that you can give if
someone asks you why you're studying English. I hope that you have a few
reasons, it's probably good to have a few reasons, but only one is ok. Thanks very
