English as my second language I have been studying English for a while and because of that I started to look for some reasons to improve my knowledge more and more. First of all the reasons, I discovery only 2,8% of Brazilians are fluent in English and 6% have any contact with the language, which is very little for 207 million people. In a recent research that had done in Brazil, it says the salary can increase 50% if you speak fluently English. Companies nowadays are looking for people to expand their business in all the world. Another good part in speak English (o any other idiom) is that you can have more fun involving with the real experience transmitted by native speakers. You can have trips, live abroad and enjoys the local culture. The last one reason as better as the others is 50% of the sites on the internet are in English, and know the language will help us with researches, news, games, youtube and practicing our reading and listening.
