Since English is the official language in South Africa, it stands to reason that to develop English language proficiency opens many doors for the non-native speaker; from the opportunity to study to the increase in employment opportunities in the many multinational companies that are based in Congo and anywhere else.

In addition to improved work and social opportunities, learning a second language can dramatically improve cognitive function. Studies have shown that learning a second language, regardless of your current stage in life, stimulates growth and development in areas of the brain that no other skill-learning activity can. There are many cognitive benefits to learning a second language – including improved listening skills and memory.
