Reasons To Improve Your English

There are lots of reasons to improve your spoken English. Here are just a few. 

1. Interpersonal Communication 

The world is full of interesting people. Many of these people are English speakers. It is estimated that 1.5 billion people speak English. People have a natural need to communicate with each other. Once you feel comfortable speaking English, you gain access to 1.5 billion potential friends. How cool is that? 

2. Travel 

What if you’re traveling in an English-Speaking country and drink a little too much of the local beverage? You need to find a bathroom quickly! Suppose you can’t find one easily. You’ll need to feel confident enough to ask a local for directions to the bathroom- before it’s too late. 

3. Financial Opportunities 

Because English is spoken by so many people, it is almost a universal language. Being fluent in English opens up a world of job opportunities. This includes translator and English teacher. Many other jobs also require an ability to communicate in English. You can find English-speaking opportunities in your own country and abroad. Many online opportunities also become available. 

4. Cultural Understanding 

Did you know your personality changes when you speak a different language? Learning English allows you to be another person. How fun is that? When you speak another language it helps you gain an understanding of another culture. Every language has its own unique character. I teach American English, so in my lessons I help you to understand American idioms. 

5. Expanded Knowledge Base 

Once you can understand spoken English at an advanced level, English-language movies, podcasts, and lectures will be more enjoyable. You will have new sources of entertainment and education. It is a different experience to watch a movie in English compared to watching it with English subtitles.
