The world is getting smaller, figuratively of course. Columbus sailed from Europe to America for as long as 33 days, today the flight takes 9-10 hours. In the economic sense, too, such a voyage in Columbus’ time could only be afforded by wealthy trading companies or sailors in the service of rulers. Learning languages also brings us closer to the world, but the ability to communicate is not the only benefit. Today we will focus on all the other advantages of learning English, although I don’t think I need to convince anyone that learning is worth it.

Mental development – learning a language is not only learning a new skill, but also developing the mind. Our brain – just like muscles – likes regular exercise for good condition. It requires focus, regularity and logical thinking, which translates into intellectual development. It’s also a process that shapes discipline and perseverance, allowing you to achieve your goals.

Professional development – knowledge of English is an invaluable asset in the job market. Companies with international reach increasingly expect their employees to be able to communicate fluently in this language. It is also an opportunity for promotions and career development.

Access to knowledge and education – English is the key to a virtual library of global knowledge. Numerous scholarly publications, articles and websites are available exclusively in this language, making it possible to develop skills and acquire knowledge from sources not available in other languages.

Travel – English is not only the language of airports and international hotels, but also of conversations with locals. It makes it easier to navigate, order food in restaurants and shop in foreign countries, making travel easier.

Culture and entertainment – cinema, music, literature – English is the language in which world culture and entertainment are created. It opens the door to fascinating stories, inspiring songs and exciting film productions.

Therefore, an investment in learning English is an investment in your own future. It’s the key to personal development and success in both professional and personal spheres. Let learning English become your new chapter on the road to success! A company’s English course is also an idea for a highly competitive employee benefit (for more on this, see our other post titled. “Want motivated employees? Offer them an English language course.”). We are an English language school based in Warsaw, but we are available to companies all over Poland, as our classes are mainly held online. We encourage you to take advantage of Complete English’s services.
