English doesn't have to be boring. Learning grammar, writing, vocabulary, and literature will provide new and expanded levels of communication and expression. For a young person, English can become a means to connect with themselves and others from limitless time periods, countries, and backgrounds. This is so valuable in a time when many young people only see life through the lens of CGI characters and reality TV personalities. Let's encourage our children to reclaim their imaginations and experience the depth and richness of the English language!
