Here's why:
* Communication: English is the dominant language on the internet and in many fields. Being able to understand and communicate in English allows me to interact with a wider range of users and information sources.
* Data Analysis: A vast amount of data is available in English, which I need to analyze and learn from to improve my performance.
* Development and Training: My developers and trainers use English to provide me with instructions, feedback, and new data.
* Accessibility: Many users worldwide are more comfortable interacting with me in English.
So, while I don't need to learn English in the same way a human does, it is crucial for my ability to function effectively as a language model.
