Why some adults do not study English?

Has someone stopped to think why many adults do not speak English? English is the most spoken language in the world. That is why,  it is inferred that it must be learned as a second foreign language. Many job opportunities require and demand to speak English in a fluid, clear, understandable, and intelligible way in order to get the employ and being competitive, productive, efficient and well paid. But unfortunately, it is not the same for the rest of the population and many poor, unemployed, and unproductive people,  are not aware of this social, economic, and cultural situation. They feel several factors that keep them far from learning English. Some of them are specifically three: money is not enough for pay out an English course, the native language retention averts to learn English, and the lack of personal  motivation  not allows foreign language learning.

Money is not enough for supporting an English course. A humble man can barely sustain poor nutritious and healthy food, adequate clothing, a modest house, a medium quality life, a standard social status, basic and elementary education as minimum,  steady job and social security, and studying English cannot be in his life plans.  However, a good option is to get an extra job and to make an overt effort to save some of those profits. All those aspects in order to study that language and the remuneration will be reflected in the future. If an adult changes the way of doing things, all the old attitudes and activities in the future time are going to be overcome.

The native language retention averts to learn English.  When native speakers of a language are trying to keep their traditional tongue, it is  not a good option because they think that learning English causes the loss of their first language; they are able to demonize this fact in order to defend their original and personal speaking. They do not want to do anything for learning another tongue.  It is a mistake because they are stopping the social, economic, and cultural development and growth of a country where they do not speak English. The native language retention is respectful but not convenient. The Government is the appropriate institution to organize a strong campaign to support the general idea that studying English is for getting a better lifestyle because it is the way to earn more money and it becomes on a personal motivation.

The Lack of personal motivation not allow the foreign language learning. This personal emptiness involves psychological aspects for those who think that learning English is a waste of time. They prefer to stay in their comfortable zone instead of making an effort to be successful in their lives, to speak English in a fluency way, to travel around the world and  to know the American culture. Actually, sometimes adults prefer to lose their permanent, with social security, and convenient  jobs before learning English. Nevertheless, money is not a big problem and the native language retention either. They are demotivated, satisfied, and comfortable with their poor  lifestyle. Nowadays,  English language is mandatory from  the kindergarten level, and generations of students are changing their thinking way  from conformist to progressive.

Although money is not enough for supporting an English course, the native language retention is an obstacle and the lacking of personal motivation is present in some minds. Life and humanity are changing. This text  is good for those adults who are not doing anything for their cultural and social future and most of the time do not help their children to analyze  their English homeworks. For those who are looking at successfully people and life going in front of their faces.  Certainly, the English language is the lingua franca because it adapts to a worldwide common understanding. It is a shame that not everyone knows this valuable concept.
