If one were to choose between fortune and knowledge, the decision for the wise would be easy. Thus, it comes as no surprise that more people are investing their savings on continuing education. Learning a new language is not only a personal investment; it is an enhancement that can boost one's confidence and ability to socialize, inter-relate and make new friends for personal advancement.
Undeniably, English is considered as the most influential international language that is currently used for business and educational purposes. Its universal appeal is due to its simplicity, clarity and popularity of usage among the international community. Definitely, learning English should be your second priority after pursuing an educational degree.
Acquiring English skills opens new opportunities such as the ability to engage in advanced studies or to further business ties with international contacts. The ultimate reward for learning English is the enabling of oneself to become more marketable to a greater part of the global population.
Frequent usage of English communication is evidently being practiced in daily life, whether in the form of listening to downloaded English songs, reading an English bestseller digital e-book or tuning into the latest digital newscast on cable/internet television. The entire world revolves around the usage of the English language as the global means of communication.
I was fortunate to be born into a family that speaks English as our primary language at home. Then the educational institutions I had studied with, only taught primary, intermediate and advanced courses in English. So it only seemed natural for me to speak and write English in the right manner as it was taught to us by our English professors; to whom I shall forever be grateful for.
Though it may seem to some that learning English is a luxury that one can avail of after the pursuit of more important courses, it is my opinion that learning English is as basic as the right to education that should be accorded to every individual. The right to effectively communicate in English ultimately decides the course of one's path in life and the opportunities it makes available.
If I had my way with state-instituted educational reforms, I would move for the mandatory integration of teaching English as the medium of communication; to eventually become part of the basic educational curriculum of every individual. The right of communication, as well as the freedom of self-expression are basic rights of every citizen as well as the inherent right to acquire state-provided quality education.
Thus, my conclusion for this post is clear: "Learning English communication is not only the best personal investment one can make. It is a fundamental right that you owe to yourself, one that should be prioritized together with acquiring a good education". In today's connected world, English is a basic necessity, more than a luxury. It is your entitlement, more than a privilege.
The wise would do well to study, learn, master and practice the art of English communication. The entire world could benefit greatly from effective English communication as it promotes greater harmony and better understanding of our diverse cultures in this globally connected society.
