English in the World

Every language is important in our culture and it is useful to learn some of them, but which language should we learn first? I think it must be English and I emphasize this as an obligation rather than a suggestion because nowadays it has become a necessity for communication.

English is being taught all around the world. Why? Easy question; it is the first tool for any kind of business. When someone is looking for a job, it is easier to be hired if he or she speaks English. Globalization is making English the most important language for people. Products, commercials, songs, movies, among others, are being written, spoken or translated every day so people can understand what is going on in other parts of the planet.

The average of English speaking people grows every year. I think that someday everyone will be able to communicate and speak in English. I hope that we learn English as we should and I also wish that the rest of the languages keep their style and don’t get extinct.
