The Value of Upskilling by Learning English

The idea of learning a new language may be daunting, especially if you are learning a new language as an adult. You are no longer in the habit of studying and your daily routine might not cater for carving time out to study. In this scenario, it is important to remember the importance of learning a new language. Learning a new language has many benefits, such as improved cognitive and logical thinking, improved memory, and then of course the many social and financial benefits.

Exercising your brain to learn a new skill will help optimize your brain’s functionality. Learning a new language pushes your brain to develop a new skill set, learn new grammar and vocabulary, and allows you to train your memory to learn new words.

With that being said, in today’s economic climate, bilingualism is a no-brainer. But, with over 6500 languages to choose from worldwide, why should English be the language you choose to learn (or master)?

1. The language of international communication

Not only is English the official language of more than 50 countries worldwide, but it is also considered the third most spoken language in the world. It is a language that is widely spoken and taught across the globe, being used as a business language, a social language and even a diplomatic language. Let’s not forget that English is also the language of aviation, computers, tourism and science! Even more importantly, English is considered the language of the internet and the media.

2. The language of education, internet & media

Education is an important aspect to being able to improve yourself, upskill your life and enhance your circumstances. Many of the top Universities in the world are English. So naturally, learning English opens up a whole world of educational opportunities. Whether this education is a degree at an English speaking university, an online course or simply reading the daily newspaper, it all comes down to knowing how to speak and read English.

We all use the internet and social media to stay connected with each other, as well as to network potential business opportunities. Being able to read and understand English is a vital skill set to have in this regard.

3. English opens up a world of job opportunities

The job market is tough, and getting a full time job straight out of university is not a guarantee. That is why many young graduates are taking on the world and finding jobs teaching English abroad. Being able to fluently speak and teach English has opened a whole new world of solid employment, travels and self-worth for young graduates.

Being able to speak English fluently allows one to apply for a wider range of jobs, and with many companies going virtual as a result of COVID-19, the job spectrum has opened up tremendously. As a result of the pandemic, many countries and international companies are now willing to hire remote workers from across the globe, meaning that you can now get an international job without leaving your own beautiful country. English transcends into many aspects of our lives, and knowing how to speak the language is a powerful weapon into the global community.
