English is the second most globally used language.  One-third of the world use English and it’s the accepted “lingua franca” – the language used between people where the native language is different.

English is rich and full of oddities, phrases, regional variations, idioms, which can baffle non-native and even native users!  For example, ‘as happy as Larry‘; ‘my giddy aunt‘; ‘once in a blue moon‘.

Most of all English helps you access the world; to study at university, travel, progressing your career or if you are moving to live in an English speaking country and want to communicate effectively.
