One of the greatest benefits of learning English is that English is spoken all over the world, and knowing it can help you communicate if you go to a new place. No matter where you go, traveling can give a great opportunity to practice using your English. You can often use English as a common language if you’re in a country with a native language different from your own.

I love to travel because it gives me a chance to experience other cultures and interact with people who are much different than myself. I lived in Japan for three years and have traveled to many countries in Europe, but I still have a hunger for traveling. I often look through these websites to find inspiration. Hopefully, I’ll soon get a chance to go somewhere I’ve never been!
Have a great week!
Your American Friend,
John
