English is one of the most widely spoken languages. Although it comes second to Mandarin in the total number of speakers, English is the language you’ll be able to use most widely, as it’s spoken in more countries than any other language. A whopping 60 of the world’s 196 countries have English as their official language:  the USA, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, to name but a few. It’s the language of diplomacy and the official language of the European Union, the United Nations, NATO, and the European Free Trade Association, not to mention many Commonwealth countries.

What’s more? English will open up more opportunities for you. English allows you to communicate effectively in numerous countries, and this opens up lots of possibilities for you in terms of the countries you could choose to seek work in one day – not to mention travel to as a tourist. English has been referred to as “the language of business”, and it’s not hard to see why. If you have ambitions to become an international business person, you must be able to speak English fluently. English is undoubtedly one of the harder languages to learn. Full of nuances, unexpected pronunciations, odd rules, and infuriating exceptions to rules, it takes dedication and perseverance to reach a good level of fluency. It is widely spoken, and it opens you up to a huge number of new cultural experiences, which will help you develop life skills, meet new people and grow your confidence in handling new situations. One thing is for sure, it is fun to learn English.
