English as the Language of the Modern World

English was originally the language of England. Due to the vast colonization
of the British Empire, English was established as the main language of
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States and other colonies. In today’s
world, where business is a predominant force, English has become the main
language to make deals. A study from Harvard University regards English as
“the fastest-spreading language in human history, English is spoken at a useful
level by some 1.75 billion people worldwide — that’s one in every four of us.”

It is the World’s Common Tongue

No matter where you travel to, you will surely find someone who speaks
English. Although, there are other predominant languages by speakers such as
Spanish or Mandarin, it is most probable to find an English speaker in Egypt
than someone who speaks Spanish. That is why when you travel abroad, you
will find flight instructions in English regardless of the airline you are traveling
with. In addition, more than 500 million people use English on the internet that
gives an English speaker a tremendous advantage at the time of acquiring
information from the net.

Media makes learning English easy

There is a vast majority of media content available in English. Many people

have heard and watched an episode of The Simpsons, Doctor Who, The Nanny,
and many other American and British series. Music is another beacon of English
culture that has helped spread the language across all borders. Even if someone
cannot understand the lyrics to a song, it is most probable they will still listen to
it due to the melody. Thanks to globalization most Anglo countries have taken
advantage of this business and helped making English available to anyone who
wishes to learn it.
