You can't play the English as black. The English is defined by 1.c4. If, as black, you respond 1...c5 to 1.e4, you are playing the Sicilian Defence.
My gut feeling is that as a beginner, you should first experiment with a wide range of openings, to find out what your style is, and which openings fit you best. So, as white, you should experiment with 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.c4 or 1.Nf3. Then once you have your "style" defined, learn two or three opening systems in depth.

As beginner is it better to learn one opening and all its variations, or is it better to learn few openings but less accurately?
Right now I am playing English Opening for my both black and white games. What other openings would it's good to learn?
