English is the fourth most widely spoken native language in the world. In terms of the number of speakers, English is the most widely used official language in the world. It is the primary language used in international relations. English has official status even in countries where it is not the official language. English is the primary language of international commerce and trade. In many countries, most tourist agencies and other public-facing agencies use English to interact and communicate with tourists and immigrants.
English plays a very important role in the current integration period. English has become an essential tool in daily work. No matter what job or field, good English ability always helps the current job to be more favorable. In addition to the requirement of knowing foreign languages (mainly English) which is an inevitable requirement for highly skilled workers to meet the constantly changing technological processes, knowing English is also a necessary ability for modern Vietnamese people.
So why should you learn English?
1. Trends among international youth
First of all, learning English has become a trend for all young people. Simply because if you only speak your mother tongue, you may lose the opportunity to work in multinational companies and reduce your ability to compete directly with other candidates who are fluent in English.
Currently, more than 50% of the European population is fluent in both their mother tongue and at least one other language. In Asia, the trend of learning foreign languages among young people is also very vibrant. In addition to Singapore, which uses English as its national language, most Asian countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, China, the Philippines, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia... consider English as the second most important language for communication, study and work. As young people, if you do not have another foreign language in hand, you will become a person who is behind the times.
2. Update information and human knowledge
In today's digital age, the dominant language of the global web is English. English is often the language of the latest versions of applications, programs, freeware, shareware, peer-to-peer networks, social networks, and websites. Software manuals, hardware installation guides, and information about popular consumer electronics and entertainment devices are often available in English first, before other languages.
In the system of knowledge, skills and attitudes that need to be formed and developed for everyone, English has a very important position. It is not only an effective tool in the hands of workers in exploiting information, acquiring high scientific and technological achievements and learning good experiences from countries around the world in their specialized fields, but also a useful means in improving the quality of material and spiritual life of people. By mastering English, we can understand more deeply about world civilization, expand cooperation, exchange and develop our own potential.
3. Meet job requirements
No matter what industry you are working in, if you have more English capital, your chances of promotion, expanding relationships, and work efficiency will be higher than others. Currently, many government agencies, tourism industry, engineering, media, education, international law, economics, public policy, publishing, advertising, entertainment, scientific research, and a wide range of service industries... all have a need to recruit people with English skills. And those who have an advantage in English always have the opportunity to receive higher salaries than their colleagues.
If your job requires you to communicate with foreigners, knowing English will of course be a big advantage in making sales, negotiating, bargaining, and negotiating contracts. The good impressions you make with your English can help you establish long-term business relationships.
Knowing English opens doors to employment in many countries and markets. For example, multilateral agencies and United Nations missions in four cities in the United States, Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland that are recruiting professionals expect candidates to have good English speaking skills.
