Better Late Than Never
So many people asked me why I learn English in my age. Yes…I am not young anymore. I am in my late 40s. But, it’s just happened. Suddenly I’m obsessed with English. That’s why I set English in one of my personal goal. I have been studying English for 1 month consistently .
Hopefully my English will be better in 1 year. I don’t hope I will be able to speak English like native but at least I can improve my pronounciation more better than before in 1 year.
Learning English is important and people all over the world decide to study it as a second language. English is listed as one of the official languages in more than a quarter of the countries in the world. That’s a lot of new people you can communicate with just by improving one language!
In fact, one in five people on the planet speak or understand at least a little bit of English. This makes English one of the most useful languages you can learn. After all, you can’t learn all languages in the world, but at least you will be able to communicate with people from all different countries using English.
It’s the Language of the Media
Most of the content on the internet is written in English. Many of the world’s biggest news outlets, including TV, newspapers, magazines and radio, are produced in English. Some of your favourite films, TV shows and pop music are probably English-language. Go to any international film festival in the world and you will see that all films are either in English or have English subtitles.
English is the international language of media and arts and so, if you want to access as much as possible for yourself, without relying on translations, it’s the most powerful language you can learn today!
English is the language of the media industry. If you speak English, you don’t need to rely on translations and subtitles anymore to enjoy your favourite books, songs, films and TV shows.
English is also the language of the Internet. Many websites are written in English – you will be able to understand them and to take part in forums and discussions.
It's Makes Easier to Travel
I started traveling since 3 years ago. When I did my solo traveling for first time, I even couldn’t speak English at all. There were so many problem and miscommunication during my trip. So, after back from traveling, I tried to find englich class and I chose to join with EECC.
I have taken english class for 3 month. It reminded me again about English. I learnt grammar again and small talk English. But after my class was over, I still didn’t really want to study English until a month ago..I suddenly wanted to study English again. And I found that learning English is fun.

As I said before, English is the world’s second language. This means that learning English makes it much easier to travel anywhere you want. For example, aeroplane announcements, train timetables, emergency information and street signs are often translated into English, particularly in countries that use a different type of alphabet. Plus, even if you don’t find other travellers or local people that speak your mother tongue, you are practically guaranteed to find someone who understands some English.
By learning English, you will also learn about other cultures. Few experiences will make you grow as a person more than learning the values, habits and way of life in a culture that is different from yours.
There are many, many reasons why learning a new language is a good idea. It allows you to communicate with new people. It helps you to see things from a different perspective, or get a deeper understanding of another culture. It helps you to become a better listener. It even has health benefits, as studies have shown that people who speak two or more languages have more active minds later in life!
Teaching My Kids English At home
Since English is spoken in so many different countries there are thousands of schools around the world that offer programmes in English. If you speak English, there're lots of opportunities for you to find an appropriate school and course to suit your academic needs.
English is the language of science, of aviation, computers, diplomacy, and tourism. Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in a multinational company within your home country or of finding work abroad.
Companies are becoming more international, and English is listed as an essential skill for more and more jobs. There are some organisations that now conduct all their business in English, no matter where in the world they are based. If you want the best paid opportunities, learning English is a great idea.
According that reasons I try to introduce English more early to my kids. I try to speak English with them in daily. So, I hope they will used to listen and speak english too.
It’s not about I don’t proud with my native language..no..my native language still be my mother tongue. English will be second language at my home. Because I believe that beginning to learn a new language at an early age is much easier than trying to learn later.
