English is an international language, and it plays a vital role in communication among people of different countries that can’t be neglected at any cost. Undoubtedly, some people can speak excellent English just like native speakers if they practiced the English language from their childhood.

Learning the English language is important to watch English movies, read English novels, successful business communication.

All the series and movies can’t be dubbed in all other languages.

The English language is most important to learn as compare to any other language. English language should be your priority if you are interested in learning other languages.

2. Writing

Writing is essential to improve your English language. Reading and writing are related to each other, and a good reader is a good writer. You should write some points in a notebook after reading something and no problem if it is just a point, and something is better than nothing.

Once you started English writing, then you will be improving your writing with time. It takes some time but remember success takes time. You will succeed in your goal after putting effort into it only.

So it would be best if you wrote something in a notebook like a quote, any lesson, or a new point because you learned many new things in your life, daily. The written practice of the English language will improve your English writing skills.

I can’t write without a reader. It’s precisely like a kiss – you can’t do it alone.
