English is the only language that is spoken or is understood in almost all the countries of the world. Not only is it the commonest and most popular language the world over that transcends geographical and cultural barriers, but it is also one of the sweetest languages boasting of a rich tradition, history and heritage that can be traced back to the old English era after 1066A.D.

English is a wide spread tool of communication in both the developed and developing nations, used as a medium for pursuing higher education, for conducting business and commerce, for writing books and journals on various subjects, for conducting e-commerce and developing the content of websites, for publishing magazines and best sellers, for making mainstream movies or music with a mass appeal, for furthering career in various fields.

Even when you visit another country on a vacation, you have to rely on English to converse with the locals and to express your thoughts. Some of the most famous authors and poets of the world like Shakespeare, Chaucer, the Metaphysical poets, Dryden, Pope, Congreve, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron, Blake, Tennyson, Browning, the Bronte sisters, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Dickens, Thackeray, Hardy, T.S. Eliot, Graham Greene, Arthur miller, Tennessee Williams have made use of the richness of this beautiful language to gift us their timeless masterpieces.

People who have not been blessed with a sound command over the English language know what they are missing out in life and what handicaps they have to face every single day of their lives.

Well, there is no need to despair. There are plenty of English language courses available the world over which will help you to brush up your English skills, but the best place to learn English is undoubtedly England - the land of its birth.

I feel it makes sense if you learn/study the English language in the place or country where it is spoken or where it originated.
