"In my opinion it´s really important to learn languages and it´s needed nowadays.
There are many reasons for studying foreign languages, for example:
- it helps you get a good job
- it makes our lives easier when we travel, because we can make ourself understood
- knowing another language will allow you to communicate with people from other countries and learn about their culture
- you can even study or live abroad
- you can watch movies and serials, or read books in original

Learning foreign languages in the Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic, there are many possibilities, where children can learn English - all children learn English in school, some of them even in a kindergarten and they can also go to some hobby group or have private English lessons.

Children have to learn English from the 3rd grade of primary school. In primary school, they learn two foreign languages, in high schools usually too, but it depends on what they study, because in language schools students definitely learn more languages than students in a training centre. And in college it again depends on the branch, which you study.
In our school, we learn two foreign languages. We have to learn English and we can choose the second language (German, Russian, Spanish or French). I have chosen Russian.

My language career
I can speak English and little bit Russian. I started to learn English in the kindergarten and I learn Russian from the 8th grade of primary school.
Learning English is difficult for me, but learning Russian is a little bit easier. I think that it is because Russian words are similar to Czech words."
