English as a second languague can help us gain confidence en ourselfs. Since English has become world universal languague, everywhere we travel, this is the languague you can comunicate. This attitude repeling English is in the mind of those who have never thought why English is so important to communicate in this global world.
Take this example, as I share in class, this past summer vacations I was traveling with a missionary group to Canada and Alabama. In the Church Center we were staying there is an alarm system so sensitive you could activate only by passing next to the door sensors. We had about three nights with the alarm going on and off, police comming into the building with guns and worried for us because of the alarms. At the time they came in, none of the people could talk and understand the police so they searched me. I could explain why we were there, when we arrived, who was encharged etc, so police could help us end this nightmare of alarms. Next day I spoke to a pastor who works in the building on how we could solve the problem. He gave us the secret code to make the alarms recognize people were in, and the best desicion taken was to eliminate alarm activation 'till the day we were gone. Thanks that I knew English , there was a good communication that solved a problem. One of the younsters in the trip mentioned that when he arrived to Puerto Rico he wanted to learn more English because he wanted to go back to Canada and talk freely to anyone. He said it didn't matter if he had to take one hour a day to learn English but the sacrifice was worth it. Maybe you think you're never going to need to learn , speak or read English in your life and maybe you think it won't be necessary, but trust me when I say it can happen to you as well.
