Reasons for learning English. Nowadays being fluent in English has become a must for living plenty in our globalizated world. All the world is connected using the new technologies so, if you want to be up to date, you must understand and being capable of comunicate yourself with people all around the world, and English is the standard. In last years in my country, because of the economical crisis, the goverment decreased the money invested in infraestructures. Because of this, a large number of my mates started to work abroad. Companies made a big effort for doing bussines in a international context. The result is that you must be a fluent english speaker now if you want to apply for most of the job opportunities offered in Spain for my profession. Also, if you want to improve your qualifications attending courses of interesting matters, most of them are in English. Obviously there is another big advantage if you speak English. This allows you to travel all over the world with confidence, because everywhere you go, there will be there somebody who will understand you. And if you go to a country where English is the main language, your life will be easier and you will have the opportunity to have better relationships with the locals. But in my opinion, the first reason for learning the language is the one related to the job opportunities and the improvement of the working conditions. This is because I have travelled a lot with a very poor English and I never had big problems to cover my basic necessities.
