What does "nanode" mean? What are its grammatical rules?


What's the meaning of this sentence and what does なので mean here? If possible,
I would like to know the grammatical rules of なので as well.

> 英語と日本語なので私にとっても良い勉強になります。




> 英語{えいご}と日本語{にほんご}なので私{わたし}にとっても良{い}い勉強{べんきょう}になります。

  * Because _it_ is Japanese and English it is very useful / helpful to me.

  * It's really good for my studies because _it_ is (in) English and Japanese.
