Communication
Having a universal language can bring everyone together. We can understand people, which allows us to move in the same direction.

By having a global language, certain things get easier, including being understood. Being understood is important, that is how we communicate. By being understood and understanding.

If everyone has a language they know of in common, it gets easier to be understood. This can come in handy when traveling, but on a more daily basis, on social media.

Social media and entertainment are a huge part of our daily life. As mentioned, over 50% of the content on the internet is in English. If you speak and understand English than you get access to a lot more content.

Entertainment
Over 80% of modern movies are in English2 . This shows that knowing a global language is important.

Sure, you can watch entertainment in almost every language, but when you know English, you get access to a lot more movies, shows, and books.

We can bring in the other argument too. You can get new friends, by communicating in a global language.

You and your friends can talk about the newest movie, or the show everybody watches.

The entertainment brings people together and by knowing the global language you can join the fun!

Work
Arguably biggest advantage of learning English is that your career prospects and employment opportunities can be greatly increased.
