What is the importance of learning English and Improveing English skills?

 

 

               People may decide to learn English for many different reasons, but whether you learn English so you can travel, study, work or even just to understand your favourite English T.V show, it is a great language to have under your belt!


      Studying a foreign language not only improves communication and memory skills, but it can also increase cultural knowledge and can help you to feel more independent when travelling. With English being the most widely spoken language in the world, it is a great choice as a second language!


        If you’re thinking about taking an English course, then read our top ten reasons why learning English or improving your English skills is a great idea!

 




1.  English is spoken by 1.75 Billion people worldwide.

One in every five people can speak or understand the English language, so just think of all the new people you could meet and communicate with if you learned English to a good standard! At IH Newcastle our social programme is a great way to try out your new skills and improve!
 

2. Improving English language skills could help you to find a job in the U.K. or abroad.

Nowadays, the international business world sees English as an essential skill. In fact, many multinational companies have authorised English as the corporate language. Having good English language skills could strengthen your employment opportunities both in your home country, and in the UK. International House Newcastle offers some particularly interesting courses, such as the Business English course!
 

3. English is quite easy to learn.

English is based on a simple alphabet, so compared with other languages it is quite easy to learn! Generally, students feel that they can make progress quickly. Plus, it is easy to practise or improve your listening skills by watching some English T.V. shows or films.
 

4. No more subtitles!

English is the official language of the media industry, so you won’t have to rely on subtitles or a translator app anymore! Watching T.V shows and films, and listening to the radio is a great way to improve your comprehension skills and increase your cultural knowledge. A great idea is also to practise speaking about your new favourite shows with classmates in your English lessons!

English is the official language of 53 countries worldwide, which means that you can travel with ease! Also, English is also the main language for international communication, which means that wherever you go travelling, it is likely that your English could help you travel more easily. For example; menus, aeroplane announcements, public transport information, emergency information and street signs are often translated into English, so you will feel more independent and confident!
