Learning foreigner language 
More and more people realize that every educated person should know a foreigner 
language. The most popular language now is English. English is a world language. It's 
the language of progressive science and technology, trade and cultural relation, 
commerce and business. It's the universal language of international aviation, shipping 
and sports. It is also the major language of diplomacy. Hundreds and hundreds of books, 
magazines and newspapers are printed in English and real all over the world. 75% of the 
world's mail and 60% of the world's telephone calls are in English. Half of the world's 
scientific literature is written in English too. 
English is spoken by more than 350 million people . It is the official language of 
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of the United States of 
America, of Australia and New Zealand. English is used as one of the official languages 
in Canada, the Republic of South Africa and the Irish Republic. It's also spoken as 
second language speakers in many parts of Asia and Africa. 
The number of second language speakers may soon exceed the number of native 
speakers. In Russia English is very popular: it is studied at schools, colleges, 
universities, and sometimes even at nurse schools. There are also other languages that 
are popular in the world. For example over 1000 million people use Chinese, the first 
language in the number of people who speak it, it means that out one of every five

people in whole world speaks Chinese. Another popular language is Arabic, which is 
the official language of several Asia's countries (Iran, Iraq, Syria, United Arab Emirates 
and others).
