Pentingnya Bahasa Inggris

Hai guys kali ini gw mau ngomongin tentang pentingnya bahasa inggris. Pernah ga sih di benak kalian muncul pertanyaan :

“ kenapa sih bahasa inggris jadi penting banget di saat ini??” 

“kenapa musti bahasa inggris!kenapa ga bahasa Indonesia aja?!”

Well gw juga pernah ngalamin hal ini kok  dan sekarang gw sadar klo ternyata bahasa inggris tuh emang penting. Walaupun gww juga bahasa inggrisnya masih belibet.

Tapi coba deh liat beberapa point – point yang menurut gw ini lah yang membuat bahasa inggris itu penting!

1.       Factor ekonomi

Kenapa gw bilang factor ekonomi, karena eh karena. Coba aja kalian liat sekarang mata uang USD klo di IDR kira berapa hayoo. Yup!kurang lebih sama dengan Rp 9.000,00. Bayangin gimana klo kita kerja di amerika yang rata-rata penghasilan rumah tangga warga AS sebelum kena pajak adalah $49.445 per tahun (Rp 445.005.000,00); rata-rata penghasilan rumah tangga Asia-Amerika adalah $65.469 (Rp 589.221.000,00), sedangkan rata-rata penghasilan rumah tangga Afrika-Amerika adalah $32.584 (Rp 293.256.000,00). Bisa jadi jutawan mendadak tuh. Nah fasih  berbahasa inggris merupakan syarat penting dan wajib untuk kerja di luar negri. Masa iya kita kerja disana tapi ngomongnya bake bahasa Indonesia atu bahasa jawa. Kan ga mungkin juga.

Karena di tuntut gaji yang menggiurkan dan kehidupan yang lebih baik itu lah. Sekarang jadi banyak orang tua yang ingin anaknya bisa bahsa inggris. Tujuannya sih simple, pengen anaknya bisa sukses dan punya kehidupan yang layak di sana.

2.       Factor gaya hidup

Nah klo ini tercetus dari kakak gw. Dulu dia sama kayak gw yang ga suka bahasa inggris tapi sekarang entah kenapa dia pinter banget bahasa inggrisnya (-__- “). Pas gw tanya kenapa, katanya gara – gara menurut dia orang yang bisa bahasa inggris itu keren.

Dia selalu ngeliat orang yang fasih alias lancar banget ngomong bahasa inggris tu biasanya cakep, cantik, pinter, bijak, dan tajir. Coba aja liat miss Indonesia, temen – temen di kelas kalian yang bisa bahasa inggris, atau liat aja di tv klo ada orang yang bisa dapetin pacar bule. Keliatan jelas kerennya kan tuh. Bikin kita jd ngiri (hahaha #curhat)

Kalo gw bilang sih mungkin ini factor music yang berbahasa inggris yang masuk ke Indonesia lebih banyak di terima di banding music berbahasakan Indonesia itu sendiri. Jadi banyak orang yang lebih nganggep bahasa inggris itu keren.

3.       Factor impian untuk keluar negeri

Kalian pernah ga punya impan untuk bisa ke paris ngeliat Eiffel, ke New York pengen ngerasain ada di tempat yang di pake buat syuting film favorit kalian, atau ke LA datengin Hollywood yang banyak artis terkenalnya atau pun kuliah keluar negeri buat ngerasain sensasi hidup yang berbeda dari indonesia ? well klo kalian pengen semua itu ada kok caranya buat kesana. Dan syaratnya yang pasti bisa bahasa inggris. Karena kalian bakal tinggal di negeri lain yang memiliki bahasa yang berbeda dari nereg asal kalian.

4.       Factor dari beberapa penalitian

Ga tau bener atau salah tapi dari searching – searching di mbah google gw dapet artikel yang bilang klo “Menurut para ahli, dengan belajar bahasa asing, itu bisa membantu meningkatkan kemampuan kita untuk mengingat, membaca, menulis, berbicara, serta mendengar.”

Nah itu lah yang menurut gw kenapa bahasa inggris itu penting. Dan menurut gw, seharusnya anak itu di ajarin bukan hanya di sekolah aja. Pas masih bayi kita ajak ngomong pake bahasa inggris aja, sekarang ada kok metode – metodenya. Dan semua ini sih sebenernya harus dari kesadaran anak itu sendiri. Sekalipun anak itu udah di jejelin bahasa inggris tiap hari tapi di dianya ga punya kesadaran dan niat nantinya bakalan percuma.

Buat kamu – kamu nih yang lg bête dan kesel sama susahnya belajar bahasa, tetep semangat belajar bahasa inggris guys. Karena efeknya nanti buat kita banyak loh! ^w^
