English is the primary language of communication in the UK. Most of us grow up speaking it fluently or learn naturally as we become immersed in the classroom and society around us.
But written English is a different story. To learn the rules of spelling, punctuation & grammar, construct a sentence on a page and pronounce the words we happily speak every day, takes everyone a lot of time, study and patience. Learning these rules can help you to study other foreign languages at the same time too.
Employers say that one of the most valuable things they look for in the people who work for them is good communication skills and this means writing and presentation as well as talking. Being able to write a good cover letter, which is free from mistakes, can also be key to getting that job in the first place.
