Friends speaking English

Nowadays, more and more people are dedicating time to studying English as a second language. Many countries include English in their school syllabus and children are starting to learn English at a younger and younger age. But what is the true value of learning English?

Whether you are looking for a new job or planning to travel the world, studying English can help you progress in life both personally and professionally. You can compete in the global job market, improve your career skills, and start to meet people around the world.

Do you know why learning English is so important? Here are ten good reasons to take an General English course.

 

Why should I learn English?

It’s easy to see just how important English is around the world. Many international businesses conduct meetings in English, universities teach courses in English and, around the world, tourists and travellers use English as a common language.

But how did English become so important? Well, it all goes back to the British Empire, which at its peak covered 25% of the earth’s surface. During colonial times, British rulers often forced the people in those countries to speak English rather than their native language. Although the origins of English as a global language have a complicated past, the language has left an important mark on media, trade and business. If you’re still not sure about whether to learn the language, then check out the reasons below.

10 Reasons to Learn English

1. English is a global language

English is the in the world. One out of five people can speak or at least understand English!

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. Learning English can help you meet new people

English is the official language of 53 countries and is used as (a mutually known language) by people from all around the world. This means that whether you’re working in Beijing, or travelling in Brazil, studying English can help you have a conversation with people from all over the world.

4. Many scientific papers are written in English

In the last century, the number of written in English has started to outweigh the number of papers written in the native language of the researcher. In the Netherlands, for example, the ratio is a surprising 40 to 1. For this reason, having a knowledge of English is incredibly important to those working in the scientific field.

5. 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.

6. English is the language of the Internet.

English is a particularly important language online with more than half the 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.

7. Travelling is a lot easier with a good knowledge of English

Imagine you’re a Spanish person on holiday in Thailand, while your hotel receptionist might not be able to answer your question in Spanish, it’s likely they will be able to answer your question in English.

8. English is one of the most important languages for business

Whether you’re a business owner, student or employee, English is incredibly important in the business world. English is considered to be one of the most important business languages due to being the de facto language of the United States and the official language of the UK, Canada, India and South Africa.

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

Since English is spoken in so many different countries there are thousands of schools and universities around the world that offer programmes in English. If you speak good academic English, there’re lots of opportunities for you to find an appropriate school and course to suit your needs.

10. 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.

Sometimes it can be difficult to stay inside and study English in the traditional ways. That’s why we’ve made a list of some of our favourite songs for learning English, so that you can practise your language skills wherever you are!

 

What are the best songs for learning English?

 

1. Wake me up by Avicci

With plenty of repetition and lots of metaphors for more advanced learners, Avicci’s ‘Wake Me Up’ is a simple and effective tune to help you practise your English.

 

2. Thinking out Loud by Ed Sheeran

This romantic ballad by Ed Sheeran has made it into our top 10 due to its slow pace and repetitive chorus. The song also offers plenty of opportunities to practise the imperative.

 

3. Budapest by George Ezra

Best for intermediate learners, Budapest by George Ezra is a list of all of the things the popstar would leave for his partner. As well as giving you a great opportunity to practise the second conditional, this song’s quick pace can help you get used to the common English contraction ‘I’d.’

 

4. Hello by Adele

This powerful song is so brilliant for learning English because of its slow start and clear lyrics. In fact, for someone new to learning English, Adele’s clear London accent is great for getting used to new words and phrases.

 

5. Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi

With common idioms like ‘let my guard down’ and ‘pull the rug,’ Lewis Capaldi’s ‘Someone You Loved’ offers a great range of new phrases for upper-intermediate learners.

 

6. All of Me by John Legend

John Legend’s ‘All of Me’ is great for practising phrasal verbs like ‘pin down’ and ‘draw in.’ For upper-intermediate learners that would like a challenge, there’s also great new idioms to learn too!

 

7. Shallow by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper

From the soundtrack of the hit film, ‘A Star is Born’ this incredible song from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper offers English learners a slow-paced intro, as well as a wide range of new vocabulary.

 

8. New Rules by Dua Lipa

Although its lyrics are somewhat fast-paced, New Rules by Dua Lipa is the perfect song for practising the negative imperative as well as common abbreviations and slang terms like ‘ain’t’ and ”em’.

 

9. Love Yourself by Justin Bieber

For students who have difficulties with negative constructions, Justin Bieber’s ‘Love Yourself’ offers great opportunities to practise the difference between ‘did’ ‘didn’t’ ‘do’ and ‘don’t.’ Just look out for abbreviations like ‘wanna’ that might cause some difficulty for beginners.

 

10. Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Last on our list is ‘Just the Way You Are’ by Bruno Mars. For people new to learning English, this catchy song by Bruno Mars allows learners to practise the simple present without difficult accents or phrasal verbs.
