It is a well-known fact that English is the third most spoken language in the whole world. Almost all the people are taught that language since they are little. I am convinced that this is a necessary fact for a lot of ambits.
Firstly, the world is coming more and more global in the last years. Globalization is a reality today. This is mainly because of the speculative capitalism that eliminates the borders between countries. For example, a Spanish company could have contacts in Japan, Brazil and Argentina. As a consequence, the world of business must have a common language to communicate.
Furthermore, travelling is becoming cheaper these days. Although the tour guides speak your language, if you want to learn new cultures to open your horizons, you must speak with the inhabitants of the country. I am sure that you can’t learn all of the languages that exist in the world. Therefore, you should know one that you could use in all the continents.
Despite this, we shouldn’t lose our own languages because it is a sign of our cultural identity. Anyway, should English be that useful language? In my opinion, it could fit perfectly. As far as I’m concerned, it is an easy language to learn and it has the Latin alphabet.
In conclusion, there should be a world language that everybody learned. It could be English or another easy language. However, we shouldn’t forget our own culture that is our mother language.
