My Experiences Learning English

Hi girls,what's your native language?My native language is Indonesian (Java) of course.My second language is Arabic and my third language is English.Today I would like to share a little about my experiences learning English.

I learned English when I was a child at school,but I wasn't particularly interested-it was just another subject.Because I thought Arabic was more important than English at the time I decided to live in Saudi Arabia.

After I left school,I didn't use English at all,except for listening to the lyrics of English music and watching English movies sometimes, and I forgot most of it.

I regretted when I got a job in a company where I work,that the company needs English.Then I started to study at Wall Street Institute ,from the very beginning.To begin with it was hard,but I was never gave up.After the first few months,I found it was getting easier.I started to understand the grammar better,and my vocabulary increased quite quickly.The main problem I had-and still have-was pronunciation.But I'm working on it.

After three years I can understand English well and I got my diploma of course,and I still have two semesters left to a master.Now I use it at work;communicate with people around the world,and also at the mall,at home, and at any place.

What about you girls?Do you ever have any experiences about learning a foreign language?

Important To Have a Wide Range Of Skills

In many countries today the situation for young people who have just finished school or university is quite depressing.Unemployment is high and most employers either only want people with work experience or they are lying staff off.For recent graduates,this is a vicious circle.How do you get that valuable experience if you've spent your life studying?How can you persuade an employer to give you a change?

A few years ago it was fairly easy to find a job.If you had educational qualifications,you could be sure of finding work.Nowdays,the story is quite different.The ongoing global recession has resulted in heavy job losses in industries that were generally considered relatively secure and well-paid.


Young people today have to think carefully about the career they wish to follow.Is it worth studying for several years only to be unemployed at the end of it all?For many, there is only one answer and that is to try to find works abroad.This may well mean that they have to do menial jobs for which they are over-qualified but at least they are working.


As the job market is so unstable at the moment it is more important than ever to have a wide range of skills,from computer skills to knowledge of foreign languages so that you can be flexible in this changing world.
