My first language was Ukrainian and I learned English. I remember finding it hard to pronounce the “R” sound, and it was weird that verbs came before the direct object in English.

Finally, I'll discuss how learning English has opened up new opportunities for me and how it has enriched my life. Join me as I recount the highs and lows of this rewarding journey!
