Importance Of Learning English From Young

There are many reasons why English commands such respect as compared to other languages. Historically, Britain was the global superpower in the 19th century while America was the global superpower in the 20th and 21st century. The combination of colonization by both English-speaking countries has helped grow the culture and language to other parts of the world. As such, it is not a surprise that English eventually became the language of the world. It is now widely spoken and written across 52 countries around the globe and used by more than 25% of the world’s population. In more aspects than we can deny, a nation’s ability to grow and develop is presented in its capacity to adopt English as the language of science, diplomacy and trade. In Malaysia, most individuals are aware of the importance of English, but we remain ignorant towards it. Sadly though, until we are able to address the lackadaisical attitude and apathy towards it, the dream of progress will remain just that: a dream.

We grasp the intricacies of a culture and unite our perspectives through language so others are able to relate to it. Likewise; for most children, learning to communicate is the key stage of their development. But let’s pause and ponder for a moment: how would they be able to learn or understand something when they’re only 3 years old? Well, put simply, through the form of media such as games, cartoons, and animations! Most of the interaction in these media would be in English and by being able to comprehend it, their minds are moulded and shaped. This, in turn, helps influence and guide the young children in key decision-making process as they grow older and allows them to stay abreast of the global conversation.
