What has English given you?

[Avant]

Hello there!

I am addicted to English. I love the language, and I love using it. I sometimes find myself thinking in English than in my native tongue. I can even read better in English than in our national language, sad to say. I like writing English sentences, speaking English to native speakers, reading books and the Web, watching American movies, and so on. I like the intellectual challenge of using a foreign language. When I learn something new about English, I feel I'm getting better and more powerful. It gives me an edge over the others who are not proficient and it makes me proud. What about you? What has English made upon your life?
