There are many reasons to learn English, but because it is one of the most difficult languages to learn it is important to focus on exactly why it is you want to learn English. Here we will look at ten great reasons why English is so important. Post this list somewhere you can see it and it will montivate you to keep going even when you are tired of trying to figure out which witch is which!
English is the most commonly used language among foreign language speakers. Throughout the world, when people with different languages come together they commonly use English to communicate.
Why learn English when it is so difficult? Well, knowing English will make you bilingual and more employable in every country in the world.
Despite China, the United States is still a leader in technical innovation and economic development. English is used in the United States and in each of these fields.
English is commonly spoken throughout much of the world due to Great Britian’s expansion during the colonial age. People in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, parts of Africa, India, and many smaller island nations speak English. English is the commonly adopted second language in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. Speaking English opens these countries and cultures up to you.
Another reason why English is so important is that it is the language of science. To excel in science you need to know English.
English is based on an alphabet and, compared to Chinese, it can be learned fairly quickly.
English is also the language of the Film Industry and English means you no longer have to rely on subtitles.
In the United States, speaking English immediately opens up opportunities regardless of your ethnicity, color, or background.
Learn English and you can then teach your children English -- or if they are already learning, you can now communicate with them in English.
English speakers in the United States earn more money than non-English speakers. Learning English will open your job prospects and increase your standard of living.
My most important piece of advice is: "Do something (anything). If you don't do anything, you won't get anywhere. Make it your hobby, not a chore, but above all have fun!"
Don't be in too much of a hurry. You're setting off on a long journey and there'll be delays and frustrations along the way. Sometimes you'll be in the fast lane and other times you'll be stuck in traffic, but there will also be lots of interesting things and interesting people along the way. Take your time to really enjoy the experience.
There are many ways to improve your level of English, but only you can find the right way for you. Here are a few tips that might help:-
Improve your Learning Skills
Learning is a skill and it can be improved.
Your path to learning effectively is through knowing
yourself
your capacity to learn
processes you have successfully used in the past
your interest, and knowledge of what you wish to learn
Motivate yourself
If you are not motivated to learn English you will become frustrated and give up. Ask yourself the following questions, and be honest:-
Why do you need to learn/improve English?
Where will you need to use English?
What skills do you need to learn/improve? (Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking)
How soon do you need to see results?
How much time can you afford to devote to learning English.
How much money can you afford to devote to learning English.
Do you have a plan or learning strategy?
Set yourself achievable goals
You know how much time you can dedicate to learning English, but a short time each day will produce better, longer-term results than a full day on the weekend and then nothing for two weeks.
Joining a short intensive course could produce better results than joining a course that takes place once a week for six months.
Here are some goals you could set yourself:-
Join an English course - a virtual one or a real one (and attend regularly).
Do your homework.
Read a book or a comic every month.
Learn a new word every day.
Visit an English speaking forum every day.
Read a news article on the net every day.
Do 10 minutes listening practice every day.
Watch an English film at least once a month.
Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.
A good way to meet your goals is to establish a system of rewards and punishments.
Decide on a reward you will give yourself for fulfilling your goals for a month.
A bottle of your favourite drink
A meal out / or a nice meal at home
A new outfit
A manicure or massage

You can learn how to speak English like an American.
You can learn how to speak English like an American just by practicing. Some people lose their original accent within the first year of speaking the new language. English is not difficult to learn and once you learn it, you can then practice pronunciation until you get it right.
Instructions
1
LEARN ENGLISH - Learn the English language first before trying to be an expert at pronunciation. The English language can be difficult at first but it will become easier over time. If you can take a formal class it is very helpful. It is also helpful to watch movies and television programs in English. American soap operas are best because they tend to speak slowly and over dramatize each action, making it easier to understand what is happening and keep up with the story.
2
RELAX - Relax and go slowly at first. If you are nervous or worried about the way you sound, it will be more difficult to learn to speak English. Just relax and take your time. Do your best without worrying if people can understand you.
3
PRACTICE WITH FRIENDS - Find friends to practice speaking English. It is best if they are Americans if you are trying to learn an American accent. Practice role playing members of society, such as a teacher and student or a shopkeeper and a customer. Practicing real life scenarios will help you in your every day life.
If you are unable to find a friend to practice with, you can always speak to people in public. Speak to people on the subway, at restaurants, at school, at the store. If you try, everyone will help you. If you stay quiet, no one will know that you need help.
4
TOTAL IMMERSION - Move to an area where you are surrounded by English speaking people. Learning to pronounce English words correctly requires that you speak it continuously and regularly throughout your day. If you are working, going to school, visiting the doctor, shopping and being entertained in English, you will learn to speak it like an American. It may be intimidating at first, but you will find that you can catch on quickly. Try to make small talk whenever possible. People are friendly and will be glad to help you along whenever they can. Smile when you speak.

A strong vocabulary opens doors for further learning.
A well-developed vocabulary can enrich your conversations and writing and give you the ability to understand words that may baffle others. There are many ways to introduce yourself to new words and their meanings. Tools such as personal goals, dictionaries, thesauruses and the Internet can help you to strengthen your vocabulary and even help you learn to decipher words that are unknown by using Latin word roots.
Instructions
1
Start a vocabulary notebook. Write down new words that you hear and want to look-up later on. Set goals for learning new words, or list each new word as you learn it, and become pleasantly surprised when you have filled the notebook.
2
Read your newspaper daily to introduce yourself to words that are functional and relevant to current events. When you come across a word that you do not fully understand, look it up in a dictionary, and make a note of the word. Try to use it in daily conversations to reinforce your understanding.
3
Use a thesaurus to look up synonyms of words that you already know. Many common words have uncommon synonyms that can be used to replace them in your writing and speech.
4
Visit the Vocab Vitamins website to sign up for daily email messages that will introduce you to a new word and its meaning each day.
5
Visit the Merriam Webster website to use an online dictionary and thesaurus. The site also offers articles about different words each day to explain origins and meanings.
6
See the Cuesta College Academic Support site for a list of root words and their meanings. Many words are derived from Latin root words. Once you learn the meaning of each root word, you can decipher the meanings of some new words without having to look them up.
7
Read in your spare time. Skip the movies for a book that you are interested in. Your local library may surprise you with a diverse selection of books, without the commitment of a purchase. Reading new words in detailed context sometimes leads you to the definition by allowing you to infer what is meant.
The first and most important thing you need to achieve this goal is incredible passion. You must have tremendous emotional power to learn super-fast. Why? Because you must study English 8-14 hours a day… and every hour you must be alert, interested, and energetic. To improve that quickly, you must build emotion. You must be obsessed with English. You must be passionate and incredibly enthusiastic. Remember, Emotion is 80% of success, method is only 20%.
To create passion, you need very compelling reasons to learn English. Just doing well on a test is not a strong enough reason. Just getting a new job is not a strong enough reason. You need HUGE reasons for doing this. Imagine all the incredible benefits you will have as a fluent English speaker. Imagine how your life will change 5 years from now. 10 years from now. 20 years from now. If you are motivated by money, imagine how English will make you amazingly rich. Visualize your dream house, your dream car, your dream life. If love motivates you, imagine how English will help you meet incredible people from other countries. Imagine dating beautiful/handsome foreigners! Imagine incredible love and passion– possible because you are a fluent English speaker. You can also exaggerate the terrible things that will happen if you fail to speak English fluently. Imagine all the jobs you will miss. Imagine all the people you will never meet. Imagine how bad your life will be because you can’t speak English. Make your reasons bigger! Bigger reasons = Bigger Passion. Bigger Passion = Bigger Success. Emotions is the key. Make your emotion stronger! Become obsessed with English!
2. Massive Input
The second key to super-fast learning and incredible intensity is to focus on English INPUT. Do not waste time studying grammar or vocabulary. Don’t waste time trying to speak. You should spend all of your time either listening or reading. This is the fastest and most efficient method for speaking English fluently. Carry your iPod everywhere. Always have a book with you. Specifically, you should listen mostly to the Mini-Story Lessons, the Point of View Lessons, and the Main Audio Articles. These are the most powerful lessons and will help you learn the fastest. You should read easy English novels– starting with novels for children. Absolutely do not waste time reading textbooks!
3. Massive Intensity
To be fluent in only 2-3 months, you must create massive intensity. In other words, you have to listen and read 8-14 hours a day, every day. You must listen constantly to English. You must read constantly.
In fact, I recommend alternating the two activities. Listen for an hour, then read a novel for an hour. Then listen again for an hour. Then another hour of novel reading. If you are really focused on speaking well, do more listening. But don’t worry, reading will also help your speaking ability. So that’s it. That’s my simple method for very fast English fluency. Of course, most people do not need to improve so quickly. For most people, two hours a day of listening and reading is enough. But if you need or want to improve very quickly, follow this plan. Good luck!
You will improve your English speaking quickly if you practice speaking every day.
English is a difficult language to learn as a second language because there are many grammar rules to memorize and the spellings of words aren't always a good indication of pronunciation. According to Palomar College, there are approximately 341 million native English speakers, and there are a substantial number of English speakers in 104 countries throughout the world. Although English speaking may seem natural to those from English-speaking countries, people who speak English as a second language may need additional help to improve their English-speaking skills.
Instructions
1
Learn the rules of English grammar, including rules for word order, sentence structure, parts of speech, verb conjugation and spelling. Knowing these rules will make it easier for you to form intelligible sentences in English.
2
Take a course in English language through a school or community organization. There are English as a Second Language (ESL) courses available through a variety of groups; some communities even have literacy volunteers to help ESL strengthen their communication skills.
3
Listen to native English speakers for cues about proper pronunciation, sentence formation, slang expressions and variations in speaking etiquette. Linguists will tell you that the rules for proper speech lie with the native speaker, so you are likely to learn more by observing others than to follow the strict guidelines of a textbook.
4
Immerse yourself in the language by surrounding yourself with native speakers and forcing yourself to speak English as much as possible. Don't worry about making mistakes in front of native speakers because your mistakes will only improve your speaking skills in the long run.
5
Watch television shows, listen to radio and read books in English to learn more about how native speakers use and pronounce words. The more you hear the language, the better you will be able to use it.
6
Watch yourself in a mirror as you practice speaking English, and observe the shape of your mouth with each sound and word you produce. You may find that your difficulties with pronunciation are a result of the ways in which you open your mouth and place your tongue.
7
Keep a translation dictionary with you so that you can translate unfamiliar words and then practice using them in a sentence. The best way to enlarge your vocabulary is to make a conscious effort of learning and practicing new words
