My full name is Michal Ryszard Wojcik. I live in Poland and Polish is my native language. I am an enthusiast of English. Now， I want to share my experience with other people.

I had my first contact with English at the age of 6. My dad inspired me to listen to Westlife'ssongs. In the beginning， I could understand nothing of what they were singing. But soon I started to understand individual words， especially the ones which appeared in the titles.

Later I got a book with the words of all the songs. I read the book many times. I learned many songs by heart， singing the songs to myself. That is how I started my way toward English.

Each time I heard a Westlife's song， I was delighted and proud. I listened to many rock bands， all in English， and I listened every day. Today， I can have a good understanding of Westlife's songs. I am constantly aware of my success in English because I can understand the lyrics of the songs I listen to， which gives me pleasure and satisfaction for many hours every day.

When I was 13 years old， I started reading science fiction books. I could not read the original versions because I did not know English very well. Somehow I felt that in English the books will be even more interesting and reading will be more exciting. I finally decided to read books in English. This decision guided me for many years.

At some point I read my first whole book in English and I understood it. That moment was a breakthrough in my life. I knew that I had broken a barrier and gotten into a new world. When I read in English， I have not only the pleasure of reading， but also the pleasure of learning English and the pleasure of using English. For the last four years， I have read books only in English， with very few exceptions.

English has given me so much satisfaction. I find it so useful in my scientific pursuit that I decided to share my methods and my experience with other people. I try to help people to learn English with pleasure. I know that it is possible to derive satisfaction from the process of learning English.
