The Importance Of Learning English!

    

     To talk about the importance of learning English in our days I will make a brief historic review about some languages that in their days had the character of internationals.

     Since earlier times the world had a predominant language that has been served as a way of communication between several countries. Generally, this language was established by a particular (determinate) empire and through this language all these countries carried out an extensive business dealings as well as cultural exchange. This situation allowed them to grow more than they would have done for themselves.

     So, in the days of the Babylonian empire the aramaic was the main language. The Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world at the 600 before Christ (the map below shows its extension as well as the countries that were under its rule and wich were communicated by the Aramaic language).

     In days of the Persian Empire the main laguage was the Akkadian. As we can see on below's map, this empire was more larger than the Babylonian and most of the countries involved on its dominion spoke the Akkadian language as a means of communication.

     And, at the time of the Greek and Roman empires, the greek was the primary languague. Through this language all the nations of that time could communicate between them.

     As I have said, through this languages all these nations carried out an extensive business dealings as well as cultural exchange wich allowed them to grow more than they would have done for their own.

     Like in those times the world has today an international or dominant language that allows all contries to have bussines deals and a cultural exchange between them. This language is English wich is spoken for over two billion people around the world. And like the old times, each nation or person who wants to be a part of this globalized world must have a knowlege and some dominance of this language and to get that the people has to study it.

     English has official or special status in 75 countries. English is the main language of business and technology, of sport and music, of science and the internet... Learning English is essential for the  future of any person!
