Chenxi: The most valuable advice I could gave… I could give… is that, um… to love th
e language you are learning, no ma er it’s English or another language. You need t
o discover first why you love this language and why you wanna learn it. If you are ju
st learning it for no reason or if you are just learning it for a test it might be di cult
for you to.. you know.. keep motivated.
Chenxi: I don’t think anyone owns the English language, because unlike other langu
ages which are, um… only spoken in a very small portion of the, the world, English i
s spoken widely around the world so it’s really hard to define who are the owners o
f English um… yeah, no one owns English, really.
