Why it's important learning English?

English is a very important language in the world and you can communicate with people almost all over the world. When you talk an international language you can use it in many scopes of our lives.
Nowadays, children start learning English in primary school and finishes at the end of their mandatory secondary school. Vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading are the most important part of English learning. However, the English school education has changed in recent years. When we were young and went to primary school, we didn’t learn in English. We started learning in English at primary school, in the middle cycle. Since then, every year at primary, secondary and high school we studied English until now that we are at University.


Nowadays, English seems to appear more frequently in our lives, one of the most common examples is the cartoons (Dora the Explorer, Pepa Pig, etc.), where the characters speak in both languages, English and Spanish and children can learn English in a funny way. When we were children these cartoons didn't exist, we only watched cartoons in Spanish. English became a really important language and it appears in some different ways of our lives. Children need to be prepared in a near future. In the future as soon as the present, the use of new technologies will be basic for development of English.


There are subjects that are currently taught in English, like Science, History or Physical Education. We think that it's a really good way to improve the English level of the students because they have more opportunities to use it with the teacher and with their classmates.

We consider that learning English is very important for children and adults. This improves the different relationships between the world and it eases the communication and the exchange of ideas, opinions, cultures, etc.
