As many as 55 countries learn English as their second language. Not only is it a popular choice but also one that learners want to excel at. Which is why we thought these video essays are a nice way to deepen our students’ relationship with English.

Spoken-English should be a familiar skill and not a luxury granted only to the privileged; which is why Project Bolo English offers an accessible learning support system.

Why more and more people worldwide are working on their English proficiency.

[Project Bolo English @BoloEnglish2020]

When it comes to travel, knowing English makes the journey much smoother. We can ask and tell directions, understand announcements and booking-related information, and avoid crises while navigating new places and cultures.

While it’s true that English is an extensively used language, it’s also imperative that we learn to develop it as a skill to communicate well and clearly. And one way our student-users do that is by participating more!
