The foundation for developing this Community Partnership Program (PKM) is the significance of soft skills for the younger generation. Increasing interest in learning English in mountain communities through environmental/natural folklore books and strengthening the soft skills of Karang Taruna partners in Bandar Meriah Village, Munte District, Karo Regency are the main goals of this service project. This PKM's specific goals are to boost enthusiasm for studying and advance English language proficiency (soft skills). In order to find knowledge and supporting technologies, the Community Partnership Program (PKM) uses a variety of tactics, including discussion and question-and-answer sessions. When learning English and developing a theoretical understanding of the language, the lecture technique is employed. The outcomes of community service training demonstrate that teaching English to students through nature-themed picture books makes the language easier for them to understand. Students' progress is fairly good while employing this strategy. In addition, it was shown that teens and children acquired English learning materials more quickly, and that this activity served as a springboard for more activities.
