Who wants to learn English?

English is the most studied language on the planet.
Why?
First, the rise of the internet had had a lot to do with that.
But!
English is the language of international business. Don't forget it is the main language of the European Union, the USA, and also one of the official languages of India.

Ok, so Mandarin Chinese is the language with the most native speakers but the Chinese teach English to most of their students and this combined with nearly everyone else studying English makes it the most widely spoken language, if you include the people who speak English as a second or foreign language.

I have been teaching English since 2003 and in that time I have taught 68 different nationalities and I have learnt something from them too.You can see an example of this diversity  by watching the following video on Youtube.


Now with the internet it is possible to study English from home and you never need a teacher, but they do help because they can identify knowledge gaps and guide you on our English learning journey. One example is Youtube where a simple search using the keywords "learn English" will supply you with enough English learning content for a year of study. You can see an example of this by watching the next video.
