Winners Stories: Why They Learned the English Language

Do you think that English language is well known only by excellent linguists with the appropriate diploma? In fact, it is not so complex to devote to studying the subtleties of 5 years of life. The language of Joan Rowling is one of the most logical languages in the world. And the most studied in the world. And the most necessary. If you immerse yourself in the sphere of English speaking, life will change for the better. And that's proof - the stories of some of my friends. I'm friends internationally. There is one thing that unites all the people described: their life has abruptly changed the knowledge of English.

"Life is all one, and you need to live as you want"

Vasily studied in Moscow for a programmer. I was pinned by fate when a friend made a website. At that time, Vasya's services were inexpensive. We talked a little in ICQ, he seemed like a lover of the pleasures of life. This is actually unusual for programmers. That's why I remember Vasya. After several years of silence, he again appeared in ICQ. And he said that now he leads the way of life he dreamed of - he travels all over the world and lives where he wants. It turns out that it all started with the fact that he learned English. Then I began to work in foreign freelance projects. It is advantageous for Americans to hire "strangers" and pay less. And Vasya even has enough "less" from his head. He recently married a girl from Italy, and now they travel together. Of course, one English for Vasya's success is not enough, he improved and professional knowledge - but without a foreign language, he simply would not have reached the current level.

"A holiday every day is about my life"

I met Katya in the library of Minsk. She took from me from under my nose the book I needed, the last one. We then laughed, exchanged e-mail addresses so that I could take the book when she surrendered, and eventually the business correspondence became friendly. I was amazed by her erudition and interesting observations. But in the companies, Katya was not popular. Experiencing from loneliness at the university, she came to the conclusion that at work everything will be different. Katya found on the Internet a site of a good school of English. Already at the first lesson she realized that the audience in these courses is no worse than on personal growth trainings. She had bright and interesting friends, which made Katya self-confident. And she began to study the secular chronicles in English, and was the first who knew all the latest gossip about foreign stars. Not that it was very interesting to her, but colleagues at work adored her. At first it was only about weddings and scandals, but then other, deeper themes turned out to be in the center of attention. Now she has many friends and her life pleases constantly.

"I became just a happy wife"

My fiancé from America, so I met Anna on the website, where the wives of foreigners discuss everyday life. Anya comes from Chita. She resolutely refused to live with her compatriots "civil marriage". But the lawful did not offer or offer. She turned 28. Parents looked at her askance. And then came the idea to try my luck abroad. Then the competition on dating sites with foreigners was very serious. Appearance of Ani was not the brightest. And it turned out that the English language had to be learned yesterday. She learned English on good courses to an average level. Anna found her husband 4 years older than herself, her 28 years for the Americans-her youth. Now they have a little daughter Melanie, who was baptized as Melanju. And in Russia a young woman was not needed.

"English as a lifestyle is an idea that inspired me"

We met with Valentin at a business seminar in Moscow. He comes from Ufa. Engaged in marketing and optimization of other people's business. It turned out that his affairs went uphill after he enrolled in English language courses and mastered it to Intermediate level. In the English-language Internet, a lot of useful free information about effective business ideas and marketing methods. We use such information to create products for infobusinessmen. These "second hand" information in the former USSR are expensive and come late, when they are no longer relevant. But those who know English are a step ahead of others. Valik said that the knowledge of the language gave him not only fabulous earnings. Everyday life has also become more interesting. Valentine starts the morning with listening to the BBC podcasts. This is a completely free-of-charge recorded radio program that allows you to improve your understanding of speech by ear. Themes - for absolutely every taste, Valentine likes the Forum section. And I, too, became dependent on the BBC Forum, I recommend to you. In addition, Valentine came to the conclusion that Americans do not have everything so bad with humor. Dumb not humor, and translators are non-professionals. And the films in the original diversify Valentine's leisure.

All stories - about people who have made English a means to achieve personal and professional success. And they all started small - from the fact that they found a suitable language school for them. For those living in Ufa, I would recommend LingvaOptima.ru (English language courses). Reviews of my friends from Ufa - very good. If I lived there, I would go to work for these courses. An interesting new school with a good atmosphere and innovative teaching methods.
