Learning English is one of the best things you can do in your life. However, since this is a mid-term to long-term endeavor, sometimes we lose sight of why we started learning English in the first place. In today’s episode, we’ve listed some reasons why you should learn (or keep learning) English.

Learning a language goes beyond memorizing words and basic grammar rules. Understanding culture is like having a context that allows you to give the right meaning to each new word you learn. The more you know about the social and cultural background of the language, the easier it is to learn new words, expressions and ways of speaking. In today’s podcast, we’ll look at how understanding culture can help improve your English fluency.
