Why learn academic English?

     For me, as a person from a world where English is a Foreign Language, learning academic English is still important. Before I put forward my views here, I would better place my background, so that the you would find it contextual. The place (country) I am from, Nepal, is one of the poorest country in the world. The language we speak is Nepali, a sister language of ancient Sanskrit Language, has ancestral relation to English's progenator Indo-anglo language (am I right?). No matter what our financial condition are, we are proud to have different attributes as country with ancient archeological possessions( temples, palaces, arts), gifted natural features ( himalayas, MOUNT EVEREST, lakes, mountains), and so on. Since the Hippies years (1970s and 80s, the HIGH time periods), Nepal is a centre ( I do have British accent, please read it as center if you have to) of attraction for people who seek a world out of modern tantrums (technological advancements and thus stuffed life)  and peace ( that's not the case now, Nepalese themselves can't live in peace anymore).

    Coming to the point here, the growing influx of  tourist attraction compelled  Nepalese to learn the common means of communication:  English. My  approach to learn academic English has been resulted from this yearning to communicate with the world. The more standard(academic) I  can speak, the more clearly I can express my views and opinions (concerns too).  This might not be the most important of all, but being able to use academic English would make me feel that I am at par with the world.
