should not be discouraged. In fact, the older a person gets, the more apparent the need for the English language becomes. Consider the following instances in which mastery of the English language is crucial for success.

English is the international language of business and culture in our day, and without a good command of its grammar and structure, it is hard to succeed in the world. Understanding spoken English is not enough; we must also be able to read and write it to fully understand the language. Practice makes perfect, and if we do not take time to review important English concepts, we can make mistakes that have significant consequences.
Consider English punctuation, for example. Lynne Truss, in her famous book Eats Shoots & Leaves makes the point that the proper punctuation can be the difference between life and death. The panda that eats shoots and leaves is never to be feared, but the panda that eats, shoots and leaves may kill you with his shotgun. Inserting a comma after the word eats in that phrase introduces a pause that turns the panda into a killer!
Proper English spelling is also vital for accurate communication. The words there and their may sound the same and may be spelled similarly, but they mean different things. There is an adverb that answers the question where? and their is the plural possessive of the pronoun they. You would not put your coat over their and the teachers would never instruct there students.
Practicing English can seem burdensome, but there are ways to make it easy and fun. This is what I make every endeavour to do when teaching English to my students.
Good luck with your English language learning.
