The importance of taking English classes
Why learning English is so important?
English is a global language
Once the language of the sprawling British Empire where it was claimed the sun never set, English is the most widely spoken language in the world if you count both non-native and native speakers. While the imperial past might be complicated, today English is the language of more positive advancements. English speaking countries (notably the United States and the United Kingdom) feature amongst the top five strongest economies in the world. Thus, to get ahead today in business, knowing English is essential and knowledge of the language will likely be a requirement stipulated by your employer.
English is the language of the internet and academia
As a universal language, English also features in many areas of innovation, both scientific and technological. Most of the scientific research around the world is published in English and many universities around the world offer programmes in English to appeal to an international student base. English is also the language of the world wide web; over half of the content on the internet is written in English and some of the largest tech companies are based in English-speaking countries.
Learning English will make you friends
The official language of 53 countries, and used as a lingua franca (a mutually known language), English will allow you to communicate with the whole world.
You can travel anywhere
If you are a Russian that needs to ask directions in Thailand, you will likely find that your interlocutor does not know how to speak your language. English can be resorted to when you experience difficulties abroad, or even when you simply want to request your favourite coffee order and are unsure how.
