Why is it important to speak English?

Speaking English allows you to actually broaden your world, from job opportunities to the ability to
relate to people from every country.

Knowing the language makes it much more interesting every trip.

Anywhere you want to go in the world you can find someone who speaks English.

Simply put, we must recognize that English is an international language, the main language of this
planet.

The statistics reveal that more than a quarter of the world’s population speaks English that means that
about 1.6 billion people understand and relate with the help of the language of Shakespeare.

Education is very important to improve yourself but learning English also improves the quality of life.

The benefits they bring in the life of a person’s knowledge of the English language are countless. What is
important to understand is that the English language is able to knock down a lot of barriers, including
cultural ones.

The English Language helps us to communicate with nearly all the people around the world, even
though the internet. After all, no man, or woman is an island.

Why English?

English “global language because of the power of the people who speak it”

The renowned linguist, David Crystal, suggests that “a language becomes a global language because of
the power of the people who speak it.” The ‘power’ of English was initially based on political and military
factors, most notably the expansion of the British Empire. Later the role of English as the language of the
scientific, industrial, financial and economic revolutions further increased its influence.

English is the most popular second language (L2)

English is the international language of business, commerce, science, medicine, and many other key
areas. Even in diplomacy, where French once ruled supreme, English is now dominant in most regions of
the world.

According to BSC Education

Reasons to Learn English

1. English is a global language

English is the most commonly spoken language in the world.

2. Learning English can help you meet new people


English is the official language of 53 countries and is used as a lingua franca (a mutually known language)
by people from all around the world. This means that whether you’re working in Beijing, or travelling in
Brazil, studying English can help you have a conversation with people from all over the world.

3. Travelling is a lot easier with a good knowledge of English

Imagine you’re a Spanish person on holiday in Thailand, while your hotel receptionist might not be able
to answer your question in Spanish, it’s likely they will be able to answer your question in English.

4. English is one of the most important languages for business

Whether you’re a business owner, student or employee, English is incredibly important in the business
world. English is considered to be one of the most important business languages due to being the de
facto language of the United States and the official language of the UK, Canada, India and South Africa.

5. With English, you can study all over the world

Since English is spoken in so many different countries there are thousands of schools and universities
around the world that offer programmes in English. If you speak good academic English, there're lots of
opportunities for you to find an appropriate school and course to suit your needs. Find out about going
to university in an English speaking country.

6. English gives you access to multiple cultures

Good knowledge of English will allow you to access films, music and literature from hundreds of
countries around the globe. Not to mention the fact that numerous books from across the world are
translated into English. Few experiences will make you grow as a person more than learning the values,
habits and way of life in a culture that is different from yours.

English is the internationally spoken language. No matter which country you are in, if you speak English
then there would be atleast one person who would be able to communicate with you.
Without English, the people would not be able to communicate with each other and there would be no
international relations. Countries might not be able to help each other and the world would not develop
without each other’s support. The tribes and other social groups would remain isolated and unaware of
what is there outside their own region.

Furthermore, it's not easy to communicate in all languages. This issue is also overcome by English, as it is
the common universal language.

Therefore, without English as a common language, the world would not progress or be friendly as they
would never understand each other. It is also an indication of how important is a language that all
people speak.
