👉 I am from Bangladesh and One of the famous aritsts of Bangladesh is Zainul Abedin. Many of you may have heard about him or you can know about him just by Google. In 1953, the artist Zainul Abedin went on a trip to Europe. When he arrived in Spain, he had a lot of trouble because he did not know Spanish, also wasn’t extremely good at English, there were few people who knew English. He was very hungry and looking for food to eat . He entered im a nearby restaurant in search of food. Since this was a long time ago, there were no food pictures attached in menu cards at that time. All the dishes of that restaurant had Spanish names and orders had to be in Spanish. Since their English was poor, they have failed to take order of food. He had to face this problem due to not knowing the English language.

Being an artist, he drew a boiling pan and a frying pan on one side of his sketchbook's white paper. Then he drew a big cow, the rear of the cow on the side and pointed to the boiling pan with an arrow. That is, want to eat the meat cooked.
One by one, he drew eggs, cabbage, potatoes and all the food he needed. The Spanish waiter had no trouble understanding what the artist wanted to eat. Since then, his new method of ordering food by drawing pictures started like this.

After reading this true story you can understand the importance of knowing English in travel.

Which is your opinion about the importance of English language to get involved with people from other countries and cultures?

English language is widely used worldwide. It is so important because of international standards. There are many languages in the world, but not all languages can be used to communicate with people from other countries. It requires a familiar language that can be communicated to almost the people of the country. And that known language is English language. We can easily communicate all over the world through this English language. English has made this communication easy. importance of English language to get involved with people from other countries and cultures can not described in words. As an example we can see @alegnita who is from Venezuela and I am from Bangladesh and we both from different countries and don't know the native language of others but still I am participating in a contest of her because of this English language. I am communicating with her through this English language.

What's your current level of this international idiom, are you taking practical actions to improve it?

English language is not my native language, I have learn this language and still learning this. I am good at writing English and also can speak. I wanted to improve it and for this I have completed a course on English Grammar from a renowned online course project named Coursera online course which was organised by University of California. I have a dream to take part in IELTS

What is your mother language? Do you know how relevant is it to have a successful trip, specially abroad? Tell us why.

I am Bangladeshi and my mother language is Bangali. Bengali is not a global language. If you travel anywhere in Bangladesh, Bengali is enough to communicate with anyone. But if you travel abroad, you will find very few people speaking this language. So I would say that if you are going to travel somewhere outside the country you cannot express your thoughts with someone outside the country through this language, you have to use the international standard language and you have to use the English language.

Which foreign language would love to learn? Chinese? Russian? Arabic, German? Or any other in mind? Explain the reasons.

Apart from Bangla and English language I know Arabic language. If you ask me apart from these language Which foreign language would love to learn, Then, I would love to learn Spanish language. I love watching movies and Spanish movies are simply awesome. I have seen many Spanish movie such as The platform, The invisible guest,Rio and Rio 2 with English subtitle. I would like to learn this language for watching movies and series on Netflex without the help of subtitle. You know watching movies with subtile is irritating. So that's the reason behind I want to lean Spanish Language.
