Does this sound natural?

I went to the U.K., Canada, Australia and so on, but it was impressing to visit Canada. What I learned was how useful English is. I did home stay with Filipina, Brazilian, Taiwanese and Spanish. Every night we talked a lot. Each of us was from each countries and spoke each mother tongues. Different cultures, different ideas and different favor. But we can know each other with English. English is tool to connect with a lot of people. Therefore I want students to know it. To do so, I'll make opportunity to talk with each other.
