00:10
can respond to the question "why are you learning English?" Let's go!
2
10050
4110
00:14
I love the culture and the people who speak the language.
3
14160

00:21
Oh, why, thank you! Maybe choose or know which culture or which kind of English

you're the most interested in.
5
25890
1580
00:27
I love traveling.
6
27750
1280
00:29
You are the kind of person who wants to go too many different countries
7
29040
3160
00:32
and you want to be able to speak to the people in those countries, presumably english-speaking countries,
8
32220
5100
00:37
you can say I love traveling.
9
37370
2000
00:39
I want to open my mind and become more international.
10

00:47
If you live in a country where, you know, the culture
11
47160
2460
00:49
there's maybe just your home country's language, and just your home
12
49620
4890
00:54
country's culture, and there's not a lot of mixing, as there is, for example, in
13
54510
3389
00:57
America. Maybe use this phrase with your co-worker, with your family members to
14
57899
4021
01:01
say I want to, maybe, change my mindset a little bit, i want to explore things
15
61920
4350

beyond this culture, beyond this language.

980
01:14
I want to understand my favorite songs, movies, and TV shows.
19
74340
3740
01:18
This is a really really popular reason for learning another language. I think not just English
20
78080
4460
01:22
but if there's a TV show, a movie that you really really like, and you want to understand it
21
82560
6120
01:28
and enjoy it on another level, you can try to understand it in the language that the movie is presented.
22
88680
7300
01:35
In this case, in English. I think it's a really fun motivation for learning another language.
23
95980
5160
01:41
The language is useful for my job.
24
101600
4260
01:45
If you're the kind of person or if you have
25
105860
1860
01:47
the kind of job that requires you speak to people from other countries, English
26
107729
3930
01:51
might be really really useful for you. So you can say the language is useful for
27
111659
4350
01:56
my job, or I need English for my work, something like that.
28
116009
4200
02:00
I'm learning the language to impress someone.
29

This could have many different meanings, maybe it means you're interested
30
126020
3700
02:09
romantically in someone and you want to impress them, maybe that person
31
129720
3120
02:13
is a native speaker of English, and you think, oh I want to learn English to
32
133440
4050
02:17
impress that guy, or impress that girl.
33
137490
2160
02:19
Fine! Great! Honestly that's a really good motivation for learning another language
34
139650
4150
02:23
is one thing to be able to speak fluently to that person in that language
35
143800
4020
02:27
great, like that being said, i don't know that i would say i'm learning the
36
147820
4120
02:31
language to impress someone.

38
153690
5400
02:39
Maybe you share borders with an English-speaking country
39
159090
2330
02:41
learning English could be useful for you, or fun for you
40
161430

02:45
Okay!
41
165060
1040
02:46
I want to speak to my partner's family in their language.
42
166340
6460
02:52
So maybe you and your partner share a common language
43
172800
3460
02:56
and you can communicate together, but maybe your
44
176260
2000
02:58
partner's family does not have that same common language. you maybe decide i want
45
178260
4590
03:02
to learn some of the language, so that i can communicate with my partner's family.
46
182850
4550
03:07
That might be a good reason to study!
47
187400
2060
03:09
It's part of my university studies.
48
189810
4380
03:14
If it's part of your university course, or if you're required to learn a language in
49
194190
4670
03:18
your university or high school, other school, you can say it's part of my
50
198870
3839
03:22
university studies, or I have to take a language. That's a phrase that we use, a
51
202709
5101
03:27
phrase that we use in my college, i think, i have to take a language.
52
207810
4350
03:32
Don't forget that i have to take a language, or I have to take english for
53
212160
3299
03:35
two years, something like that.
54

3700
03:43
I just love learning languages, maybe you're the type of person who just really really is
57
223060
4300
03:47
interested, and you can say i just love learning languages, i think it's really

03:51
interesting. That's a cool reason.
