7 Reasons English Is Necessary to Change Your Life Today!

1. Dream Job

The first reason why English is necessary to change your life is because it will open the doors to your dream job! Brazil is going through a difficult financial crisis at the moment. The current situation is forcing many people to move out of the country in order to look for work. Unfortunately many have difficulty finding jobs abroad because they no little or no English. Speaking English will increases your chances of getting a great job here in Brazil or anywhere abroad. It is the language of Information Technology, Graphic design, Business and Tourism.

2. Travel

Another reason English will change your life: Travel! If you love to travel and want to meet new people and learn about new cultures, then learning English is a must! English is the official language of 56 countries, it the the first language of about 400 million people and spoken by almost 1.5 billion people around the world! That is a lot of people! Speaking Portuguese alone will only open doors to 8 countries and 220 million people around the world.

3. Movies & Entertainment

If you love to watch movies and T.V shows, then English is necessary! Imagine listening to your favorite songs or watching your favorite movies and T.V shows with the original audio and without the need for subtitles to understand! Reading subtitles and watching dubbed movies are great but they fail to give you the full experience that only English learners can achieve. Understanding the words and expressions to a song will enable you to unlock its full meaning and experience.

4. Books

Unfortunately most people in Brazil are unable to receive access to millions of life changing books because they are only available in Portuguese. As a Pastor I have access to many resources to theological books and software that help me learn and understand the Bible more. But others are not able to understand because they do not know the English language and to me this is sad. I believe all Lawyers, Doctors, Teachers, Students, Engineers and Business people should learn English. It will unlock a door to a wealth of knowledge that will help you live your life to its full potential.

5. Internet
