Trips, money and information: what opportunities does knowledge of English give

There are three things you can watch endlessly: how the water flows, how the fire burns and how life passes by while you postpone learning English. Maybe it's enough to deprive yourself of prospects already? We lay out on the shelves what real opportunities knowledge of English gives you.

Dream job (and salary)

The very requirement of fluency in English in a vacancy can increase your salary by 10-30%, even if in practice you have to use this knowledge once a year. And a person without knowledge of the language will never be sent to a foreign conference, training or negotiations, because it is a waste of money. Finally, an employee who is able to read working materials not only in Russian will always be one step ahead of colleagues. Let's be frank: all the most interesting things in any field, from advertising to orthopedics, are not happening in Russia right now, and they write about it most often in English.

It is not necessary to speak the language at the native speaker level. It is enough to know the professional vocabulary and a certain number of frequently used words (there are about three thousand of them). In order to teach people to read professional texts, special training programs are being developed at the Skyeng online school. You will study exactly the topic you are interested in.

No borders (literally)

Those who can only speak their native language, year after year, travel along the same routes, trodden by tour operators. On the spot, they pay exorbitantly for excursions and go in formation to lured restaurants. And English-speaking travelers do not need the services of tour operators. You can buy tickets yourself, negotiate with the hotel, find information about transport and attractions, paying adequate money for all this.

English will give you the opportunity to make friends with the locals and find out places where a package tourist has never set foot. Walking around the city without an annoying guide, you will actually see the country as it is. A special course for travelers will change your idea of other countries. There is nothing superfluous in it, only the most necessary vocabulary abroad.

Quick access to new knowledge

Knowledge of English gives access to a huge number of educational resources about everything from cooking to marketing. And not only that: having learned the language, you will be able to go abroad to study. To do this, it is not even necessary to have a hefty bank account, many universities and colleges offer free programs to talented applicants from abroad. However, to participate in these programs, you will need to provide a TOEFL certificate or one of its analogues. In Skyeng, of course, you can prepare for taking this test so as not to waste time and get it the first time.

Sharpness and clarity of mind

After graduating from the institute, we almost stop studying. Well, maybe at the first job we learn something else at first, but then that's it, routine. So the memory works with minimal load. Intensive study of English helps to maintain mental acuity and clarity of memory. Those who speak at least one foreign language are less likely to suffer from memory problems and Alzheimer's disease in old age.

New acquaintances

Tinder and dating sites are full of foreigners, but you can't build happiness on likes alone. Even an average level of English will allow you to invite a nice person on a date and, for example, arrange a city tour for him. In a country where few people speak English, a nice guy (or girl) who can keep up a conversation is worth its weight in gold. Who takes a foreigner to the mirror maze in Moscow, who will show him the secret wine glasses and pyshechnye Peter? Definitely not you, if you don't take up language learning.

The opportunity to leave Russia (forever)

It's silly to have the idea of moving abroad without knowing English. Firstly, in order to obtain a residence permit, it is almost always required to pass a language exam. Serious preparation is needed here. And even if English is not spoken in the chosen country, it will definitely be useful for communication while you learn the local dialect. There will simply be no other way.
