RE: The Importance Learning International Language
I guess I'm lucky that English is my native language because I'm certainly nogood at learning anything else. I've tried.
Globally - four most widely spoken.
Language Approx. number of speakers
- Chinese 1,197,000,000
- Spanish 414,000,000
- English 335,000,000
- Hindi 260,000,000
Then there's this
Second, there is no single criterion for how much knowledge is sufficient to be counted as a second-language speaker. For example, English has about 400 million native speakers but, depending on the criterion chosen, can be said to have as many as 2 billion speakers.
So perhaps you made a good choice.
And I'm doubly lucky.
Furthermore:
One of the most widely spoken and fastest spreading world languages today is English, which has over 900 million first- and second-language users worldwide.[3] It is estimated to have as many as 600 million second-language speakers,[3] including anywhere between 200 and 350 million learners/users in China alone,[4] at varying levels of study and proficiency, though this number is difficult to accurately assess.[5] English is also increasingly becoming the dominant language of scientific research and papers worldwide, having even outpaced national languages in Western European countries, including France, where a recent study showed that English has massively displaced French as the language of scientific research in "hard" as well as in applied sciences.[6]
so I'm triply lucky.
Yes... I regret , underestimated to learn English language when I studied at high school... so I must learn intensive . It is very nice learning English language, I can share my experience, stories and learn about others culture. Anyway thank you for this information :)
