Re: Purpose of English Well, I think that English is important because it happened to be the most popular language in the time of globalization. Different cultures need to communicate with each other, it's a fact. Somehow english helps in this process. For example, anyone with a basic study of the language can communicate in English, with some difficulty of course, but it's possible. I also see a willingness of native English people to teach their language, what doesn't happen with French, for example. For me English is a way to get more knowledge, talk to people from different countries, dream about a better job, etc...I would feel kind of isolated if I didn't know English in the 21st century. |
