Have you ever tried watching a trending YouTube video, reading an instruction manual, or applying for an international job; only to realize that everything is in English?
Mentioning any circumstances, English isn’t just a subject in school but a life skill.
Let me show you why…
Imagine getting a call from someone in China, or Germany, or Nigeria. You don’t speak their language and they don’t speak yours. What do you both use? Well, English.
Most widely spoken second language in the world, acting as a bridge between different cultures, countries, and people. It’s the language of the internet, international trade, global tourism, and diplomacy.
If you speak English well, you’re not limited by borders. You can collaborate, connect, and build relationships across continents.
Most top universities around the world from Harvard to Oxford to the University of Cape Town, teach in English. Scholarships, exchange programmes, and international research opportunities often require one thing first: strong English skills.
Imagine winning a fully paid scholarship, but missing out because you couldn’t write a strong personal statement in English.
Learning English opens up academic doors you never imagined and gives you access to global knowledge, science, and research.
Companies want employees who can communicate clearly, especially in today’s global economy.
For example, a friend of mine, Nammere, applied for a remote content writing job with a US-based company. She didn’t have a degree in journalism but her fluent English and writing skills landed her the job. Today, she earns more than most local office jobs pay.
…proficiency in English could be the key to your next paycheck or promotion.
It’s Not Just About Work – It’s About Life
Have you ever wanted to read a novel? Watch a movie without subtitles? Or enjoy a Talk-show about your dream topic?
Most of this rich global content is in English. By mastering the language, you’re not just boosting your career, you’re enriching your mind and enjoying global stories, music, and culture.
Still think English is just grammar and essays? Think again.
The English Language gives you power to speak, to write, to be heard, and to grow, sharpens your critical thinking, improves your problem-solving, and boosts your confidence in any field you enter. Employers love people who can express ideas clearly.
You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t need a British accent. You just need the courage to start improving and the willingness to use English as your tool for success.
