 1. English is an international language because:

Owing to the size of the English-speaking population and its usage in our daily life, English
language came to be known as the lingua franca. For you to understand the importance of the
English language as a universal phenomenon, we have put together a list of factors that
contributed to its popularity.

Hollywooding away! The prevalence movies in English has played an important role in
making English a universal language. Hollywood movies have the largest audience in the
world. Hollywood movies are often dubbed into regional languages for people to watch,
however, we cannot overlook the large number of viewers of English movies. Many foreign
actors – including famous martial artist and actor from Hong Kong Jackie Chan and Spanish
actress Penélope Cruz – have learnt the English language while being part of the Hollywood
circle.

Business and English are partners in crime The world is taking globalisation seriously, and
having a common language only makes business easier. With top-notch corporations
establishing their presence in different countries, communication becomes vital. It makes the
information flow easier and gives people a common ground. There’s nothing better than the
English language to do that! In fact, its extensive usage in international business has led to
the term “Business English” being coined.

Talk and sing in English English songs have influenced the music world for a long time
now. If you want to make it in the international music sphere, you must know English.
English music has a larger audience, as well as providing a better platform and amazing
songs. Everyone must have heard an English song at least once in their lives. This gives the
English language precedence over other languages when it comes to global acceptance.

publications is English. There are many books written in regional languages too, however,
more often than not, they are translated to English at some point. What does this tell you?
The English language is not only widely spoken, but also widely read.

Simplicity is bliss There might be a difference of opinion on this one, but it is relatively easy
to learn English in comparison to other languages. One of the main reasons behind this is that
the English language has a comparatively simple grammar, as it has simpler plurals, a more
straightforward verb conjugation, it is mostly gender-neutral, as well as other factors. The
English vocabulary is also easy to pick up. This adds to its worldwide popularity. Spoken

thanks to its vast vocabulary. Flexibility is key; there are different ways of saying the same
thing. Owing to the size of its vocabulary, English words are classified into categories:
there’s formal English, informal English, conversational English, and slang!

2. The Importance of the English Language in Today’s World

Language is our primary source of communication. It’s the method through which we share
our ideas and thoughts with others. Not only English speaking countries use English as a
communication tool. There are thousands of languages in this world. But why learn English?
Currently, English is the primary language of not only countries actively touched by British
imperialism, but also many business and cultural spheres dominated by those countries. It is
the language of Hollywood and the language of international banking and business. As such,
it is a useful and even necessary language to know.

English is the international common tongue

There are several factors that make the English language essential to communication in our
current time. First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people
who come from different countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use
English as a common language to communicate. That’s why everyone needs to learn the
language in order to get in touch on an international level. Speaking it will help you
communicate with people from countries all over the world, not just English-speaking ones.

Education

English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries, children are taught and
encouraged to learn English as a second language. Even in countries where it is not an
official language, such as the Netherlands or Sweden, we will find many syllabi in science
and engineering are written in English. Because it is the dominant language in the sciences,
most of the research and studies you find in any given scientific field will be written in it as
well. At the university level, students in many countries study almost all their subjects in
English in order to make the material more accessible to international students.

The Internet and Press

On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even sites in
other languages often give you the option to translate the site. It’s the primary language of the
press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no
matter where in the world you are, you will find some of these books and newspapers
available. In fact, because it is so dominant in international communication, you will find
more information regarding nearly every subject if you can speak this language.

3. I learn English because it is number one language of international communication,

also number one in dealing with sciences, arts, and in military fields as well. When I was kid
all I could possibly think of was games, and I'll tell you what, they were all in English, how
the heck would a Brazilian boy on his 8's be able to understand any of the stories, I grew up
thinking that English was the opposite of Portuguese, but I got disappointed when I came to
an understanding that the languages did not have a lot in common, there is some popular
saying in Brazil that states "I'm Brazilian and never give up" that's what our president teaches
us. By the time I was seventeen I didn't have a lot to do in my afternoons and no money was
available, that was when I decided to go to the library every day and study as hard as I could
just to get home and be able to understand some new lyrics, games and movies, yes, that's
what you're thinking I don't like the sound of the word "self-student" but I kind of learned
English all by myself, nowaday I work with computers and this is just possible because I can
easily communicate in English, what I'm saying is I learn English because I know this is the
only way I have to get whatever I want.

I learn English because it is important for communication among people and for updating
knowledge...English is also the most commonly used language in the science. In any
competition for jobs the knowledge of the English in speech and writing is one of the
basic requirements. Knowledge of English in speaking and writing is essential for
conducting business and for communication with foreign customers and business
partners, English is also essential for better usage of a computer.
