Why Do We Learn English?

This is the question we all face when we enter a classroom with some youngsters who are always curious about "why English speakers don't learn our native language?" They keep saying "I want them to learn my language and i don't want to learn theirs".

They really wonder about that and hardly understand why it is otherwise. But no worries, I have found a TED Talk about this issue explaining it in less than five minutes; special thanks to my best friend Hakkı.

This video is a must-see for every English teacher and learner and i suggest you let your students watch it and discuss about the reality behind it. I hope it'll be fun and an inspiring lesson.
