In my opinion, I think that English is one of the most important languages at the moment. We find it everywhere. Currently, the English is spoken in the most tourist places and for a lot of people, it's considerate the business language. If you want to travel outside Spain, you have to use English. It’s a very good form to communicate because it’s an idiom that everybody more or less knows. It’s important to jobs too. You Will have more opportunities if you know it well and you Will able to work outside your country.

Nowadays, I have no doubt that speaking English is very important. Firstly, to have a good job since it's business language, or simply to work because every day you have to have more knowledge and skills to access the working world.

In addition, it's necessary to travel because it allows us to develop around the world.

Therefore it would be interesting that this language could be studied in schools since childhood to have a trilingual population.

Front my point of view, speaking English is the key that opens the door at our globalised world. It allows us to share knowledge, It rewards us culturally, It teachs us the diversity of thoughs, ideas and opinions around the world. As far as I’m concerned, the more I speak it, the more I understand the world and consequently, I consider that this learning makes me much more free and opens my mind.
In addition, there are scientist proofs that to speak a new language is likely one of the best exercicis for our brain. At the same time to be multicultural give us far more resources, skills and abilities in our daily lifes.
To sum up, It’s a fun activity that It suppose a challenge for me and meanvhile, I improve my health and my life.

Nowadays English has become the universal language. If we haven't had this language, we didn't understand the cultures and the beginning of other countries because we speak a different language and we wouldn't understand between us. In this case, English is like a connector between countries and that's why I think English is very important.

MariPau · Post by **MariPau** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 9:08 pm

Nowadays, it is very important to speak English for a lot of reasons.
For instance, if you want to study or to work abroad with people from different nationalities you will speak in English with them because it is the most common second language in the word. So English enables you to communicate easily with citizens over the word.
It is the language of business. Global companies expect employees to be fluent speaking it.
Another reason to speak English is to communicate easily when you travel. If you love visiting foreign countries it is very useful to speak English. You can make friends and meet people from different countries and also discover different cultures.
To conclude, speaking English gives you access to a world of technology and science.

lennon@mhysa · Post by **lennon@mhysa** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 9:44 pm

For me to speak ad understand this language is almost a matter of honor. I began to learn English mainly for my children.
I believe that parents are the referents of their children and therefore we must always be an example for them.

Once I understood that I sincerely wanted to be a source of pride for my children, the situation changed and I realized that what I really wanted was to be a pride for myself!
From that moment I felt hungry and thirsty for everything that surrounded this language. When I listened to a song I wanted to understand what that liryc was telling me,when I saw a movie I wanted to understand that I was living and feeling its characters ... And so on and so forth.

But this has only just begun!

Vicente · Post by **Vicente** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:38 pm

On my point of view English is not important, It is essential.
If you require travelling or You like to travell, You need to speak English.

Every year I say to my children and students: "English isn´t the future, It´s the present". If they (of course me too) would like to know the reality of other contries or cultures, English is required.

So, If You would like to travel to foreing countries, You need, last but no least,a basic or survival level of English

Learn how to talk, to listen, and to read English, is one of the most important factors to get job or study.
In terms of get a job, it's just demanded from companies to get any position into them.
And as study, it just means more possibilities of different carriers, as you can study anywhere else, than in your country.

In my opinion speaking English nowdays is essential. The world is globalized and English has become a universal language. If you speak English you could work and live in many countries around the world.

Although this evidence, English isn't only important for work, even if you don't plan to go abroad, learning a now language is a tresaure... Why? Because you can read a book or a newspaper; see a film or listen radio in original language, and, of course, you can travel and comunicate without troubles. Travel and know many different people it's my great motivation to learn. Finally, we must remember that learning a language is a pleasure.

Why is important for me improve my English speaking?

For me is a very necessary think, because i have to take to my students around Europe, to carry out their Erasmus+ scholarships.

I have fear, of not understand my European Partners, or colleagues, and to have problems with this.

Also, my low speaking level is a handicap to increase the number of companies that may be potential partners, and improve the supply for my pupils.

However, I have been trying to progress my listening and speaking skills, doing exercises and hard working all the situations I can find.

I have to get out of my comfort zone.

In my honest opinion, English is the most important language in the world. In most of the countries where you can travel, English is the main language. With English you can understand and communicate with everything.
English can not only help you travel, in my job, for example, it’s manly de only language which we can all understand. In my department we are from different countries and nationalities and for this reason it’s easier speak English. We use English in meetings to talk about bussines and also in our lunch to explain the live outside the office too.
In summary, we need one universal language to communicate between the countries.

When I was studying illustration, I did an Erasmus scholarship to an animation studio in Scotland. I didn't know much English and I couldn't relate much to my classmates. I felt very stupid. When I arrived in Barcelona, I was aware of the importance of communicating with people from other countries and speaking other languages. So I signed up to the EOI.
Today I still think that this trip changed me a lot.

Speaking English is important to me for several reasons, but the most important is to show myself that I can do it. I have been “studying English” all my life and speaking correctly and fluently has always been my pending subject, and I hope to achieve it. On the other hand, it is also important for my job because I travel to conferences and I have to explain my work and talk with other people. I hope to get it!

For me English is very important because if you want to find a good job and if you have a fluent English it's sure you can have any job without any problem. As well Spain is a very popular touristic destination where you can see in the street a lot of tourist and if you know how to speak English well then you can communicate with all nationalities since English is a universal language. Also if you want to work or emigrate to another country you will find much easier an employment.
Besides all of this for me personally in my job it is very important.

I'd just like to say that Speaking English allows you to actually broaden your world, from job opportunities to the ability to relate to people from every country when you travel.
Anywhere you want to go in the world you can find someone who speaks English because there are more than 400 million native English speakers.
We must recognize that English is an international language, the main language of this planet, followed by spanish.

Also, most of the international trade agreements are concluded in English, and is the most widely used language for international business meetings.

Finally, I think it's important to say that , in addition, it is known that learning a language can delay the onset of Alzheimer's, for this reason to study another language different from the native, like English,it is always good for your mental health.

I encouraged you to learn English! The benefits are many

However, I guess that other topics of discussion should be told about it, as, for example, how the way everyone constantly worship this acculturation phenomenon can lead us, actually, to an idea of north americam supremacy,.that has been actually seen in many aspects of contemporaneity.

Few weeks ago, a friend of mine recommended me this article from resource Preply, where they have collected some useful information of how to start speaking American English like a local. They have plenty of other articles on their resource, and pretty awesome online tutors, who can help in learning of any language you want. I like such websites.
