We consider fluency in English as one of the criteria for our social hierarchy and believe that English is not only a means for communication but an object of admiration. However, now is the time to abandon this colonized perspective and think of the purpose of learning English and proper ways to develop your ability. Learning a foreign language means getting rid of deep-rooted prejudices, adopting a new way of thinking through practices, and accepting different cultures with curiosity. If you want to learn the languages of different cultures and knowledge systems, you have to know the basic knowledge, historical backgrounds, and different ways of thinking behind them.
While Medieval Europeans lived in the Latin civilization, we are living in the era of the 21st century English civilization. English is changing every second little by little. The proper way of learning English will provide you an opportunity to meet one billion people around the world. If you throw away the old way of learning English and change your attitude toward English learning, you will soon be able to learn English in the right way. In addition, if you understand Why you learn English, you'll be able to follow the steps on How to learn English.
Fluency in English cannot be achieved without an effort to accept different cultures in a proactive and adventurous manner. In the globalized world, English is an essential tool to communicate with people from all parts of the world.
Fluent will enable its readers to understand why it is necessary to learn English and overcome their fears of studying English.
