My English Learning Adventure

As someone from China, I had already studied English for more than ten years like many others. Back in school, my English was actually pretty good. I even won second prize in a university-wide competition—competing against English majors! I guess my school might not have been top-tier, or maybe others didn’t take it too seriously, but still—I'll give myself a pat on the back! 🌟 It just goes to show that my English foundation wasn't too bad.

But after graduation… well, I didn't use English much at all. For over ten years, it just stayed on the shelf.

Then, this September, I decided to pick it up again. Why? Because of my son Edward, who’s now four and a half—truly the golden age for learning languages! I started searching online for resources to teach him. But something wonderful happened along the way: I rediscovered how much fun learning English could be!

A big reason for that is all of you—yes, you! 👋 I’ve also met so many friends from around the world, all so kind, encouraging, and inspiring. It’s amazing how language can bring people together like this.

I feel truly lucky to be here. It’s a beautiful thing to connect with others in a space free from conflict and misunderstanding. I’ve always loved learning, but the deeper I go, the more I love it. English isn’t just a language—it’s a bridge. A way to truly communicate, to connect heart to heart, and to share and appreciate cultures from every corner of the world.

You know, I often imagine: if I could have one superpower for a day, I’d choose to speak and understand every language instantly. Wouldn’t that make the world so much closer?

Here’s to fewer barriers, more understanding, and more empathy—one word at a time. Thank you for being part of my journey. It means more than you know. 😘
