Learning English fluently will allow you to communicate with people throughout the world, whether you are in an English-speaking country or another foreign country where English is the language you have in common with another human being.

Theater – How would you like to understand a Shakespeare play? Throughout the world theater groups create outstanding live performances – both modern and classic – in English. Even when you are traveling in a non-English-speaking country, there are opportunities to see live plays in English (especially those by Shakespeare).
Music – Most of the most widely played music throughout the world is in English. English-speaking people create music of all kinds: pop, country, jazz, bluegrass, folk, rock-n-roll, rap, hip-hop, alternative music, and more. By learning English, you will be able to understand the lyrics to any type of song that is in English, no matter the genre.

You can read online content, watch videos, listen to audio files, watch TV episodes and movies, and connect with people throughout the world.
English is used more than any other language on the internet. By learning English, you will be able to understand and enjoy a large variety of content on the internet as it is written, without translating it into your mother tongue.
Video Games- Some of the most popular video games are written in English. By learning English, you will be able to enjoy playing online games such as World of Warcraft as well as popular console games such as Halo Reach, Portal 2, Mario World, and more.

Travel to English-speaking countries and communicate easily and with confidence.

The United States is a popular destination for business and pleasure. New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, the Grand Canyon and Aspen are all popular destinations. If you speak English fluently (or nearly fluently), you will be able to easily communicate with Americans, whether you are here for business or for pleasure. Unfortunately, many Americans only speak English, so learning English fluently is going to allow you to confidently experience the American people, the culture, and the natural places in a comfortable way. Speaking English will make it easy to make new friends, too!
Of course, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand are also popular English-speaking destinations with wonderful cultures and natural places to enjoy. While the accents will be different in all of these countries, by speaking English fluently, you will be able to communicate confidently with people from all these countries. Of course, there are many other countries whose official language is English as well, and so even in those countries you will have an advantage, especially for doing business. (For a list of countries where English is spoken, click here.)
English is also the second language learned by people throughout the world, so you can be confident that if/when you do travel to a foreign country, whether it is in Africa, Asia or South America, English will be a common language which you can use to speak to millions of more people around the world.

Have fun!

Learning English is fun! English is not a difficult language to learn; you can make quick progress. There are no special symbols to remember, such as é or å. Words are easy to make – no confusion about articles, such as la or el or le or der, die, das. It’s just THE!

Most English words are pretty short. Lots of 2-, 3- and 4-letter words. This word, which has 28 characters, is NOT typical: antidisestablishmentarianism  – the movement or ideology that opposes disestablishment.
