IMPORTANCE
OF LEARNING ENGLISH - PART
3
8. English is the language of the media industry
Because of the prominence of Hollywood in global
media, an enormous amount of films, TV shows and popular songs are
written in English. 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.
9. English can make you ‘smarter’
Learning a foreign language enhances your cognitive
and analytical abilities. Learning a new language can be difficult and it
involves a lot of mental exercises. Research from a 2012 Swiss
Study shows that learning a new language changes the brain structures,
impacting the parts of the brain responsible for memory, conscious thought and
it can make you more creative. In the long term, bilingualism can keep the
brain strong and healthy into old age and supports concentration and memory
skills. On an individual level, it improves personality and increases sense of
self-worth. In simple words, learning a foreign language makes the brain
stronger and more versatile.
10. The global workforce speaks English.
Over the past few decades, English speakers have become
increasingly important in the business world. A large number of the world’s top
companies are based in English-speaking countries, and many of these companies
require their employees to have a good level of English to be considered for a
job. In addition, several multinational companies have employees from all over
the world, and English is often used as the common language among these
employees. As a result, having strong English language skills is essential for
anyone looking to succeed in the business world.
11. 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.
Learning English is not only useful, but it also gives a lot of satisfaction and making progress will make you feel great. The language skills can be incredibly beneficial for your personal and professional life.
