Learning English is important, but firstly, why is it

a good idea to learn any new language?


Learning a new language can be an enjoyable
experience at any age. People learn new
languages for many different reasons, such as
travel or work, and the benefits can be incredibly
worthwhile, whatever the reason.
Studying a foreign language can increase cultural
knowledge and can help you feel more confident
when travelling. It’s also a fact that learning a
second language improves brain functionality.
Studies show that people who speak more than
one language have improved memory, problem-
solving and critical-thinking skills, enhanced
concentration, ability to multitask and better
listening skills.

1. English is a global language

English is spoken at a useful level by some 1.75


billion people worldwide – that’s one in every
four! Being able to speak English is not just about
being able to communicate with native English
speakers – if you want to speak to someone from
another country then the chances are that you
will both be speaking English to do this!

2. Studying English can help you get a job

English is the language of science, aviation,


computers, diplomacy, and tourism. Knowing
English increases your chances of getting a good
job in a multinational company within your home
country or of finding work abroad.

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

Since English is spoken in so many different


countries there are lots of schools and universities
around the world that offer programmes in
English. If you have a good level of academic
English, there are lots of opportunities for you to
find an appropriate school and course to suit your
needs. In addition, many of the world’s
prestigious universities are situated in English-
speaking countries such as the United Kingdom,
United States and Australia. To earn a position at
one of these prestigious universities it is
paramount to be able to read, write, speak and
listen in English.

4. English is the language of the media industry

If you speak English, you won’t need to rely on


translations and subtitles anymore to enjoy your
favourite books, songs, films and TV shows!

5. It is the language of the Internet

English is also a particularly important language


online with the highest percentage of content on
the internet written in English. As well as this,
some of the world’s largest tech companies are
based in English speaking countries.
6. It will help you to understand other languages

Generally speaking, English is one of the easiest


languages to learn with its simple alphabet. And
once English is mastered you will have developed
abilities and practices that you did not have
before. These skills will transfer to any other
language that you learn.

7. Travelling is a lot easier with a good knowledge


of English

Even if you are in a country where English is not


the official language, chances are that English will
still be used as a tool for communication!

8. You can learn more than just the language!

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. Therefore, by
understanding English, you are unlocking the door
to a whole world of new information and
knowledge!
