One in five people in the world (the whole world!) can speak, or at least understand English. It’s a very handy language for travel and communication. As the primary language of business, it is important – no, imperative – to know how to speak English when talking to international colleagues or customers. Having English language skills increases your chances of getting a good job, whether in a multinational company or working abroad. Have you ever considered studying abroad? Countries like the United States and the United Kingdom are home to some of the world’s greatest universities and colleges. Last, but certainly not least, most of the content available on the internet is in English. From YouTube videos to podcasts and websites, there’s so much content out there that isn’t always translated into other languages.
