Description: This article explores some of the most popular languages to learn and the motivations one may have for learning them.
Language tutoring is an attractive method of language learning for children and adults alike.
There are a variety of reasons why someone may want to learn a language.
What Languages are Most Popular?
In the UK, it is common for students to learn either French, Spanish or German during secondary school. This is because Spanish and French rank in the top 5 of the most spoken languages in the world and are the official languages in about 50 of the world’s countries.
The languages we are taught in school are the ones most used in business, making students competitive in the global market.
Mandarin Chinese is the second most spoken language in the world, with 1.2 million speakers, making it an enticing option for language learners.
Why do Students Learn These Languages?
The languages mentioned above are popular among British learners.
Linguistically, Spanish, French, German, and even Italian, share many similarities with English so this makes them easier to adopt compared to other languages such as Arabic, which is linguistically very different.
Tutoring is a good option for students sitting GCSEs or A-Levels in these languages. Extra tuition can help them with the skills needed to read and write the language in exam conditions.
Children learn languages to better prepare them for the world of work. Having a second language at the business level opens up more job opportunities and increases economic mobility.
For adult learners, tutoring is an attractive option for those wishing to travel. Knowing the language makes it easier for people to engage with others in different countries.
What can Telios Tutors Offer for Language Learners?
Language tutoring can provide structure to language learning. Therefore many people do not know where to start, so a tutor can help with learning vocabulary initially then moving on to grammar.
