Role of English Language in the Conversation - Acquire Proficiency

Language play an important role in the midst of conversation among members of the society. It will help in the formation of concepts, ideas, feelings and thoughts.  When you think of  a concept, you are using an imaginative skills but when you share that concept or idea to another individual, you will need a verbal form of the language to communicate your concept or idea.
English is a major language that is used in the United States and other English speaking countries around the world. It is also a major language that is used for business communication globally across cultures. English is a native language in the United States while it is learned as a second or third language of other language speakers at non-English speaking countries.

They acquire certain degree of proficiency in order to communicate effectively their thoughts, feelings and ideas. 

There are however big differences between the spoken and written forms of English. Many who learned English as their Second or Third language from a foreign country, they acquired grammatically-based knowledge and proficiency.  When they start speaking in a grammatically-based conversation, the native speakers are challenged when comprehending their utterances because the latter did not learn the grammatical syntax when speaking.  

Conversational English was never the focus of learning English in most foreign countries. One reason why many people who learned English in their countries can write and read effectively but not in speaking.
