I think there is nothing in my life that I learned quickly better than the English language. Let me just introduce you to our education in Egypt and how it works. In Egypt, we use the wrong approach to teach children how to learn any language, and we teach the children with ineffective methods. After 12 years of education in Egyptian institutions, people are not able to speak for just two minutes or even one minute in English. They lack language skills; their listening is very poor, and they cannot speak. I needed to travel abroad and obtain a degree outside of Egypt, so I had to learn English. That's why, in just three months, I learned how to speak English. I took the IELTS course and finished it in just three months. Now, I am able to speak in English for up to one hour. I converse with my Pakistani and Indian friends on WhatsApp and Instagram, so that has been a great experience.
