2.  It provides access to great literary works

Literature is language at its best. If you read the old fashioned way or prefers the use of  eBooks with any device, or just someone who likes to discover budding writers on Wattpad, the English language is your best bet.

Famous writers even have their works translated into English to reach audiences worldwide. An example is the Japanese novelist, Haruki Mukarami, who is known for his works like  Kafka on the Shore, After the Quake, and Norwegian Wood which was even turned into a movie.

Spanish authors like Isabel Allende, a Chilean-American author also had her works translated from the Spanish into English. She is most famous for her novels The House of the Spirits, and City of the Beasts.

3. It allows you to consider migrating to an English speaking nation

Everybody has their dream destination. Why visit if you can stay for good? No need for a survival kit, just learn English and you’re good to go. Communication will never be a problem. In fact, many countries consider the English language as their second language. So wherever you are, wherever you go, you will always be understood.

4. It boosts your confidence

Whenever we see a man who speaks well, who expresses himself clearly and passionately, we listen. And by learning the English language, you too can be heard. The English language is the key to be heard. If you have a voice, a cry for help, an advocacy to make a change, or just someone who wanted to express himself the best way possible. Not only will it make you well versed, but it will also make you feel good about yourself.

5. It helps you to stay connected

Over the years, the internet has become one of the most important discoveries in human history.
