Given the importance of English today, we could say that learning this language is a
compulsory training at an educational level to be able to access the world of knowledge.
Bearing in mind that English is the universal language, it can be very useful in our day-to-
day life, even on a personal level. Knowing English will open the doors to a large number
of destinations in which we can function without problems. Furthermore, studying English
is one of the best excuses to travel abroad either to take intensive courses or to work while
we practice the language. Traveling outside the country is also a unique possibility to meet
a new culture and interesting people, learning English is an enrichment at a personal level,
giving us to know other ways and styles of life and thinking, it will help us to understand
the customs of the places that we visited.

Since I was a child, my father taught me to love English and that when I grew up, English
would serve me for many things in my life, both personally and at work, with the above, it
leads me to think that improving and perfecting my English is very important to me,
because thanks to learning English, today I am in a country that I love and that I wanted to
be in from a very young age, it was always my dream to be able to be in the United States.

I am currently working in the United States and thanks to this, learning new words, new
phrases every day, I have the great opportunity to find myself in a country with so many
opportunities, thanks to learning the English language I can be enjoying a new culture, new
people, new knowledge, new landscapes, for those reasons and many more is that I invite
each person to learn the language, to be trained, be demanding with yourself so that you
learn every day, learning a new language will always bring excellent opportunities .

It is very important to learn a second language which provides many advantages in social
and cultural life, economic situation, and brain development. The world has become more
and more connected thanks to technology, which is growing rapidly. Thus, knowing a
second language enables people to communicate, and this communication is important in
the global economy. The benefits extend even to the structure of the brain, and improve
mental abilities.
