Lately, Russian Forbes posted an article “You don‘t need English: how Russians trick themselves when they start learning English”. Even though it was a tricky article promoting one of the language schools in Russia, it created a tsunami of questions and debates.

What do we really learn the English language for?
- To feel comfortable while traveling?
- To be able to exchange ideas with other professionals from our field?
- To learn new skills almost for free?
- To read the newest business books and scientific articles?
- To interact with people all around the world and learn new things?
- To extend the capacity of our brain?
For Russian-speaking auditorium, I prepared this video:
If you are not the native speaker of the Russian language but still want to learn more, feel free to write me in the comments!
