The Advantages of Learning English
By Jeanne Baird, eHow Contributing Writer

The English language is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, second only to Mandarin. That English is used almost everywhere is just one of the many advantages of learning the English language.
Business
1 The English language is the primary language of business throughout the world. Most international business transactions, including emails, memos, reports and contracts are written in the English language.
Employment Opportunities
2 Having the ability to fluently speak the English language as well as one's native language can be very beneficial to those seeking job opportunities with international companies. The ability to speak a language that is spoken by most business people can place the job seeker a step ahead of the competition.
Movies
3 Major Hollywood movies have dialogue that is spoken in the English language. The plot of these movies is easier to follow if the person watching the movie speaks English. Subtitles in other languages can sometimes cause the meanings of words to be lost in the translation, and they can be a distraction or even block the action that is taking place on the screen.
Travel
4 Since the English language is one that is predominantly spoken throughout the world, international travelers may find that speaking English can make their travels a little easier. Most hotel and restaurant employees, as well as store merchants, will probably speak English at least to some degree.
Schools
5 Students from other countries who attend school in the United States will benefit greatly if they can know basic English. This knowledge will help them communicate better with both their students and teachers. The students will also have an easier time with any research or readings that they are assigned.
Academics
6 The English language is the predominant language of academics all over the world, with a large amount of research conducted, written and presented in English. The English language can be a very helpful tool for scholars to communicate their ideas and research findings with peers in their field.
Computers
7 Most software programs are written in the English language. For those who are seeking to expand their computer knowledge, having the ability to read and understand the English language can be invaluable.
