Learn To Read English

It is said that English is the universal language, which is why it is not at all surprising that many people from all over the world (who don’t have English as a first language) take classes to learn how to SPEAK English. And while this is all well and good, they will soon learn that in order to be able to completely and properly function in an English-speaking culture one must learn to read English as well. Evidently, there are other alphabets in the world apart from the English alphabet, and knowing and understanding certain words phonetically does not mean that you will necessarily be able to navigate around an English-speaking country, whose street signs are written in English. So if and when a person whose first language is NOT English is to be sent to a country that does, it is always best that they learn to read English first.

Another reason why a person may need to learn to read English is the fact that most contracts (especially in the context of dealing with international companies) are written in English. Many businessmen from Japan, China, and other countries who do not use the English alphabet learn to read English so that there will be little to no chance of them being slighted.
