hi
i love you
Learning another language, especially English is a good way to get a new job. Almost of jobs today require candidates using English at the immediate level.I couldn’t forget the day I met a foreign customer. He went to my bank to receive money transferred through WU, but I couldn’t help him this transaction because I didn’t understand what he said. He was angry and said that he won’t come back to my bank anymore.I disappointed myself, then I decided to take part in an English course to improve my English skills though I am 30 years old and have a little boy. I don’t have much time to practice English everyday, but I think with my hardworking, my skills will be better in the near future.

I want to learn English to help my Arabian communities in future.
