Learning a foreign language is a skill that I have, which was not taught in school. I learned it from my own academy. It is a skill that allows us to use a foreign language to understand other cultures. We learn their traditions and how they communicate with one another. I learned from my English professor, Khasim. He helped me very much in my journey. This can help me because I have to go abroad for further education. This can help me a lot in that. As every visa embassy has requirements that they can attach an English language proficiency test along with their visa documents to approve that visa. So that's why it is very valuable for me, and I have spent very precious time on that skill. I have learned it, and I have developed it in my personality and character. This can improve and enhance my ability to communicate with other people. This can also help me when I have to communicate with a foreign person. You can say that with any person who is very admired in English, and I was totally admired by that personality who could speak English with me. So I think that's why I have learned this kind of skill that was not taught in my school.
