My Experience learning English.

MY EXPERIENCE LEARNING ENGLISH.

I came into contact with English for the first time back when I was in Dubai, UAE (my home country). Every school begins from home as parents are always our first ever teachers. My mother, being a very bright and intelligent individual, was the first one who familiarised me with English. She has a great command over English language thus remains to be my very first and best teacher ever!
Dubai was where my first official schooling took place. There i started learning my alphabets. I was known as a bright student. However my class teacher was very strict and a lttle mean, hence as a small child i was intimidated by her.

However, soon we decided to move to England, UK. This was a place where I was able to really enhance my English skills, and then could actually practice it with the local British people. I also acquired my basic education from England. All my teachers were qualified from Britain, therefore I had the opportunity to write, read, learn and speak proper English with the correct British pronunciation.
We interacted every single day in English. My teachers here were the best! They were very warm, welcoming and wonderful teachers. They focused on each child individually.

However, once again life took its turn and brought me to Pakistan. Here I completed my O levels and A levels. English language skills here range from person to person. Not everyone has a very good command in English as its not their native language and the initial school learning is a bit weak. However, in my case I was lucky to have very dedicated teachers. They weren't as strong as my British teachers but tried their best, which I loved about them.

Therefore, my journey learning English still continues. I have been studying it for 20 years so far and am currently learning it again in my university. My current teacher's fluent and speaks good English but gives us tons of assignments! I really hope he lightens the load as English is my favourite subject and I enjoy its classes.

The only thing I miss the most in my journey is the strong british accent I once had. Over the time I had to speak more slowly and clearly so people in Pakistan could actually understand me and not just admire my accent. Though I realised that it is more important that people actually understand what you are trying to say.
