Why learning English is a good idea
In our present time, English is the main language around the world, and as a consequence, no matter what you do, English is there. Be it in the business world, the educational field or the internet universe it is a good idea to know English in order to be successful.
In the international market English is a really important tool, because if you are making business with another person in the other side of the world, you have to be able to understand the agreements of the contracts that you are signing, and the most probable thing is that the other person knows English, because after all, English is considered as the business language in all the planet. To the other hand, English gives you the chance to aspire for a better position in your job, or even better, if you don’t have a job at all, it gives you the opportunity to get a good one, making this knowledge a big investment in your career.
If you are a teacher or a student, English knowledge is invaluable in order to have a better development in your education. One clear example of this statement is that commonly the best books available in almost every subject are written in English, and sometimes there is no translation at all for that particular book that we need, and software and machine translators are not yet ready to provide us good translations. Besides this, if you apply for a master degree, one of the most important requirements is a good level of English in order to be informed and share the researching and discoveries in your field.
Finally in the vast universe of the internet, English is an indispensable resource to get to know what is happening out there in the world of social networks, music, movies, videogames, and software. In fact, if you think about it, since the first moment that you are in the net, there is something in English in the right or left side of your screen. And to be honest, to have the power to communicate with another person of a different culture is really nice, being language the only barrier that impedes this.
To sum up, there is no single field in which English is not useful. And we can make advantage of this, increasing our knowledge and level of it.
