My experience learning English virtually by Karina

1) The importance of learning English for your professional  future

It’s not a secret that  English is the universal language. Many people are learning English to speak with people from other countries, to increase up their knowledge about other countries, to travel and to get a good job.  This last reason has been very popular in recent years. The English wasn’t important in the past but it is  important in the present. Knowing English is important for many jobs for example: trader, tourist guide, diplomat, etc . Nowadays many companies, institutions and factories give preference to applicants who speak a second language.  In short, the person who knows English has a very broad field of work. Also, learning English is good when you are a university student. This language is useful if you are going to participate in a student exchange or if you are going to  read the latest scientific texts.

3) My  experience learning English virtually

I studied  English in a school  nine months ago and I’ve been learning English online for a year. There are some differences between the two modalities. One difference is that learning online is comfortable and learning in person modality is uncomfortable but the two modalities are very good and fun. I really recommend this modality beacuase I learn new vocabulary every class ,I talk with my teacher and classmates, I play grammar games and I have a flexible schedule.
