Why learn English?
Because English is the most important international language in the world. Some facts prove that: English is the international language of air and sea travels, of computing, of pop music, of politics, of science and medicine, sports, TV and films. The world today is a very small place. Communication and travel are extremely quick: think of jet planes, satellite TV, telephones, telex and fax, for example. English is the first language in:
Australia The Bahamas Canada Ireland
United Kingdom Guyana New Zealand United States
And it is the official second language in many other countries like:
India Israel Nigeria South Africa
English is slowly becoming more than one language, because in every country it is spoken there are differences in some vocabulary words in some grammatical structures.
British English and American English: What is different? Let’s see some differences:
