No one warned us when we were young, but learning English has become so crucial in today’s world that those who do not master this language are at a disadvantage in the job market.
With millions of speakers worldwide, English has become the language of science, technology, business, and entertainment.
Learning this language gives us the chance to expand both our personal and professional horizons. Personally, it allows us to travel to other countries for vacations and interact with their residents. Imagine asking for directions to the restroom and no one understanding you due to not knowing English. A tragedy.
In the professional arena, knowing English provides us with greater employment prospects and even the opportunity for higher salaries. This is evident with international companies that have their headquarters in English-speaking countries.
Attending conferences, closing deals with clients, and even responding to emails can be quite a challenge without a command of English.
Without further ado, you must understand the immense importance of speaking and reading English. But if you don’t know a word of the language, don’t worry; there is still hope.
Recently, the Carlos Slim Foundation, led by the Mexican entrepreneur, launched an initiative with the goal of ensuring that everyone learns English.
And how will they achieve this, you may wonder. Well, this initiative consists of a vast array of free educational resources all gathered in one place so that interested individuals can choose and use those that help them master the language.
These resources are available on a website managed by the foundation. The platform is called “Latin Access,” and, as mentioned earlier, it consists of a website with an extensive directory of resources for learning English.
In total, there are 11 available resources, each offering different means of learning English. These can include courses, video conferences, applications, and even practice exams.
