Six-year-old Ayaan Khan has only been learning English for 12 months, but it’s his third language, after Urdu and Pashto.

He says he enjoys learning the language so he can read the food labels at the supermarket with his father and "because I can speak English in my school". 

Ayaan is one of five winners of the third annual SBS National Languages Competition, which asked students of all ages to submit images and text describing the possibilities learning a language had opened for them.
