English is one of the most widely spoken languages
Although it comes second to Mandarin in the total number of speakers,
English is the language you’ll be able to use most widely, as it’s
spoken in more countries than any other language. That means that
English is the language that will give you the best return for your
efforts; after all, intellectual challenge aside, there’s little point
putting a huge amount of time and effort into learning a language that
you’ll hardly ever have the opportunity to use.
As well as the UK, a whopping 60 of the world’s 196 countries have
English as their official language: the USA, Australia, Canada, New
Zealand, to name but a few. It’s the language of diplomacy and the
official language of the European Union, the United Nations, NATO and
the European Free Trade Association, not to mention many Commonwealth
countries. What’s more, English is the commonly adopted second language
of people in a great many more countries, including Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Germany and Holland. In total, around 1.5 billion people speak
English worldwide – and another billion are in the process of learning
it. Will you make this number even bigger by learning yourself?
