First off, Akos, you speak English better than a lot of people I know, and these people only speak English. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing a lot better than you give yourself credit for. As you said, you're learning, so smile and keep focusing on learning; you'll inevitable succeed if you do that. You can't control what the future holds, but you do control what types of thoughts and actions you engage into right now, which bleed into your future inevitably. Stay focused on your dream, on your purpose, and don't get distracted from your course. Don't speak down upon yourself or belittle yourself, as that creates further thoughts/actions that go against what you dream. Stay patient and persistent. No worries my friend! You'll make it if you want it bad enough.

Most major companies don't discriminate, as that's bad for business. Seeing as both companies originate in the USA, they probably don't discriminate because of that. However, I imagine they hire those who are qualified to meet the standards of their company, but that's based upon the individual.

@Akos Honestly, it just depends what YOU want to do. If you want to specialize in one thing and become a master at that craft, then do that if that's what feels right for you. For myself, I've been learning all of this stuff since I was a little kid in the 80s, and it was something that I've always done just for fun, so I learn anything and everything that I can. I'm fascinated by knowledge and so I can't stop myself. If I hear about something, and I have even the slightest interest, by the time you see me again I'll be educated on it. This has nothing to do with fields, careers, or any of the other things that society tells us to focus on; this has only to do with what I'm passionate about and the extent that I'm willing to engage into my passions. I've known how to program for about 20 years now, and I've only began taking money for it in the past years. The point I'm making is that if you love what you're doing and you want to learn as many languages or related fields, then do that. The fun part about all of this is that it's really a journey, an adventure. I've found myself in so many different related fields, learned from it, and when the time came I moved on to something new & fresh for me. It's made me more well-rounded, but it's allowed me to also discover things that I had no idea that I loved. Do what feels right for your life. Money, jobs, careers, social status, and all of the other illusions that we dabble in mean nothing at all at the end of this life. The only thing that is truly real about this place is your experience of it; so don't make it a bad experience just to satisfy someone or something else, make it a good experience for YOU.

Thank you I really appreciate what you was writing. I've got another question: is it necessarily true that i should focus to one field and learn the related languages or I could learn many as I want to? I mean is there any limit?

Right now I'm lost: I'm learning English, i learn to code and I worry about my future because the whole learning system is confusing and I can't see my next step.And the fact that i can't speak English properly makes it more difficult
