Have you ever wondered why is everybody going crazy about learning English? Don’t you think things will be a whole lot easier if you will just focus on your native language? Why learn English when you can communicate in your local language at home? Why is English so important that learners are willing to spend time and money just to be fluent in it? These are the questions that some of my students asked. The answer is very simple: English is the universal language.
English is widely spoken in different places all over the world. According to the British Council, there are about 375 Million people who speak English as their first language and the same number of speakers use it as a second language. 750 million people in the world speak English as a foreign language.
