English
World Language
Once people dreamed of a language that everybody in the world could understand. Now, for the 1. (one) time in human history, perhaps there is one— English. It is the official language in more than 50 countries and 250—300 million people speak it 2. a second language. Some say that half the world will be speaking it in the year 2050.
Difficult to Master?
English is not the 3. (easy)language to learn—most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary—at least 200,000 words are in common use.
