Study English

To study English is to open a window into the largest and most influential literary tradition in the world, as well as the second most spoken language in the world after Chinese. The English language sparkles with some of the most important writers in world history: Shakespeare, Chaucer, Austen, Twain, and hundreds more. Their works have stood the test of time and represent the English language at their finest. To study English is to find characters like Hamlet, the Wife of Bath, Mr. Darcy, and Huckleberry Finn, characters who live and breathe as real flesh and blood humans who exist entirely through the language of English.

Beyond the literary and cultural windows one can open through learning English, to study English is to learn to communicate in the most spoken and influential language on the planet. Most of the world’s international communications in politics, business, and media are conducted in English, and this language is increasingly essential for communicating on the world stage if you want the international community to hear you and to understand what the rest of the international community is saying to you. The world is an exciting place, and English is the ticket to entering the international mainstream, where the world’s most important conversations are taking place. From Los Angeles to London and Mumbai to Melbourne, English is today’s global lingua franca, the international language in the truest sense.
