Tutors

English is not the most spoken language is the world. That shouldn’t be shocking as most of the worlds population is not urbanised and many (often rural) areas exist where no one would understand a word of English. Those who choose to study English usually didn’t have such a good grasp of the language before they started learning it, because a lot of their day to day interactions were in their native language. But English is by far the business language and modern language of choice. Even if you were to interact with someone that didn’t speak in your native tongue, chances are you’d be able to communicate with them effectively and efficiently in English.

It’s an international language, spoken in most cities and understood by any modern society. It’s also a sought after skill, as many non-native English countries want to hire or employ those with a good grasp of the language. Another great benefit for anyone choosing to learn the language is the fact that they would be bilingual, and that in and of itself is a game changer.

So, the takeaway is if you plan on communicating in a global, local or professional setting you’ll benefit from being fluent or in the very least capable of speaking English. When you do decide to learn English you should be consider doing so in England. In this series we’ll take a look at various locations in England where you can learn to speak or improve your English.
