Here are the approximate time periods when each of the mentioned countries started using
English:

Bangladesh: English was introduced to the region of present-day Bangladesh during British
colonial rule in the 19th century. After independence in 1971, English was retained as an official
language along with Bengali.

Thailand: English was introduced to Thailand during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama
V) in the late 19th century as part of a modernization effort. Today, English is widely taught in
schools and universities and is used as a second language by many Thais.

Singapore: English was introduced to Singapore during British colonial rule in the 19th
century. After independence in 1965, English was retained as one of four official languages (along
with Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil) and has since become the dominant language of business,
education, and government.

South Korea: English was first introduced to Korea in the late 19th century during the Joseon
Dynasty. After the Korean War, the United States played a significant role in the country's
reconstruction, and English became an important language for education and business. Today,
English is widely taught in schools and is used as a second language by many South Koreans.

2. Sure, I'd be happy to explain in more detail about whether English is considered a second or
