I always wanted to speak to people with different backgrounds, identity, mindset and philosophy and to get to know people from different countries I knew language was the key. My community, family, relatives played a big role learning English. In my essay I would like to share about my experience, how it shaped my ideas about myself changed my life and even a challenge that I overcame.

My parents played a big role when it comes to English language learning. Growing up in a family where both my parents are historians and researchers gave me an opportunity to speak English. My father is a researcher and he travels around the world and has lot of foreign colleagues. Initially, all his colleagues would visit Uzbekistan and would be our guests. We even have a family friend who is in love with Uzbekistan and has been visiting us for more than 10 years. Initially, being surrounded by them at the dinner table I would try to speak English. The desire to talk to them freely gave me that courage to learn the language and engage with the language. I was about 12 years old when I started learning. At that time English wasn’t so popular or in demand in my country. At first I had been studying English by myself by going to English clubs, libraries and presentations. I remember that I was the youngest among visitors and the one who wouldn’t miss any sessions. The curiosity and enthusiasm that pushed me to learn the language though. I would give tours for foreigners with my friends in bazaars, mosques, national museums and square. The main thing was practicing English but the feeling of honor for my country, historical background and heritage was precious.

Luckily, I had change to live in English language speaking country. My dad being a scholar at university I had an opportunity to live in USA. I engaged at university lectures taking classes like anthropology and GIS.
I had a really interesting and remarkable experience when I’d to guide 2 young students from Sweden who came to practice medicine in Tashkent. I guided them through hospitals and translated their conversation with doctors and patients. However, I have not realized that I had to translate even in the operation room. I was always afraid of blood and couldn’t see people suffering. However, that day has changed my life and I overcame my fear. I thought that I had to overcome that challenge and learn how to penetrate people’s pain and I went to that operation room where one patient was getting his second operation on his head and could see all opened up brain and could hear all the cracking bones while operation. I started translating words of a doctor using my little dictionary in my hand. It was a big challenge for a 12 year old girl who went to operation rooms and translated at the same time. I understood that even in a young age you can help people and this was my first lesson from life with which I dealt successfully by overcoming my fears.
Foreign language is a complex process that involves the development of four communicative skills: Listening, speaking, reading and writing. Thinking back on the way I have learned English over the many years I used variety of sources. I have spent a lot of time trying to work on those 4 skills.
