English is practically everywhere. It\u2019s the official language in over 67 countries, and an additional 55 speak it as their official second language. It\u2019s in books, films, and TV, not to mention on signage around the world. It\u2019s the language of businessmen and academics. Even non-English media usually comes bundled with English subtitles or translations. Indeed,\u00a0English is now so prevalent \u00a0that it\u2019s officially taken Mandarin\u2019s spot as the most spoken language in the world.<\/p>\n
Given this, it\u2019s no wonder that so many people who don\u2019t already speak English wish to learn it as a second language. It\u2019s not an exaggeration to say that it opens up much of the world, and all kinds of opportunities.<\/p>\n
If you know someone who\u2019s thinking about learning English, or who may be a non-native speaker intending to teach others the language, you might be looking for ways to encourage them to become fluent. In this effort, being able to articulate the specific benefits of learning English as a second language can help a great deal. We dive into some of those benefits below.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to find resources<\/p>\n
Since English is practically everywhere, it\u2019s easy to find cheap or even free resources for learning. Many schools offer English language classes, and there are also various websites \u2014 like those belonging to the BBC and the British Council \u2014 that offer lessons for those who wish to learn remotely.<\/p>\n
Learners can also supplement their lessons with the staggering amount of English media available. Books, shows, and films can all help learners grasp cultural nuances and develop that intuition English grammar usually requires.<\/p>\n
This breadth of resources simply isn\u2019t readily available for other languages one might try to pick up.<\/p>\n
