The Benefits of Learning English

Posted on Jan 26, 2016 8:40am PST

The English language is one of the most commonly-spoken languages and is often considered the most influential language in the world. Whether you want to learn English to further your studies, your career, or your personal horizons, there are many benefits you can gain from attending a qualified English school.

Improved Cognitive Abilities
Learning a second language is one of the very best ways to keep your brain active and challenged. Studies have shown that the brain undergoes changes in electrical activity and even structure and size while learning another language that do not occur when learning any other type of task or skill. Learning another language offers important cognitive benefits at any age, helping to keep the mind active and even reducing the risk of mental disease and slowing mental decline later in life.
Improved Communication Skills
When you learn English as a second language, you are learning new ways to think and express yourself through written and spoken words. Learning multiple languages can help you communicate more clearly in any language as you learn more about how language itself works and how to use it to promote ideas and reach out to others in a variety of social and work situations.
Improved Social and Work Opportunities
ESL classes can open the door to new opportunities in life, whether you’d like to attend school or pursue a career in an English-speaking region of the world. Knowing English can help you excel in a number of fields, particularly those in which English is a commonly-used form of communication, such as science, business, and engineering.

What motivates us to learn foreign languages?

English teenagers are the worst in Europe at learning a second language. But is that any surprise, given how widely spoken English is? Anne Merritt looks at what motivates us to learn foreign languages.

Why learn a language: there’s a saying that a language is "best learned between the sheets". 

1.Open Up a World of Job Opportunities

Learning a second language opens up a ton of career opportunities. I’m not just talking about freelancing or working location-independently either, though these are excellent ideas which I’ve personally used. There are lots of other ways that speaking two or more languages can improve your employment prospects.
The world is changing fast. More companies than ever are doing business in several – often dozens of – countries around the world, but they can’t do it without hiring globally-minded people who can speak at least one foreign language. Ever wanted to be like those people you see in the airport travelling to foreign countries “on business” all the time? That can be you.
Even in small, local companies, chances are that the ability to speak a second language will set you apart from other applicants.
