When you travel to countries where English is the main language, it is important to speak and understand it. Throughout Canada, the US and the UK, shopping and traveling is often made easier by speaking English since many people may not speak other languages. When you speak English, you will be able to communicate more easily with the locals and explore the regions that may otherwise remain unknown. In Europe, many people learn English in school so knowing the language is a benefit you can enjoy when traveling to places where it is not the native language.
