Learning_English_416

Recently English is increasingly becoming the language of international communication. More than 350 million people all over the world speak English. Still more are learning it, grown ups as well as small children. Not some other language, but English has become a world language. Certainly, the fact has its explanations. First of all, England developed like a country and soon became one of the strongest and most powerful countries. To that time it had already many colonies all over the world (in Australia, Canada, U.S.A., even Africa). Many English people migrated there. English became an official language in many countries, which later got independence. But English remains an official language in most of them even until now. So for many centuries English was spoken in very different parts of the world. Certainly, it quickly became a language of international trade. In some countries English remained as the second language: a way in which people who have different languages communicate with each other. In many countries English became the most popular language among students. In conclusion, I'd like to mention that learning English one shouldn't forget about other languages. Russian, for example, being a very difficult language, remains in my opinion one of the most beautiful means of communication.
