Learning english

 

  English is an international language because it is one of the oldest languages ​​in the world. English originated in Britain in the 8th century. The development of English words was also very fast. Harvard University researchers, there are at least 8,500 new words per year.

   

    The UK is also a developed country, this can be seen from the many innovations that come from British countries and the advanced level of their knowledge. Another thing that causes English to become an international language is because England is the country with the most record of colonizing countries. Of course, by colonizing a country, the language will automatically be used by the colonized.

    Why is an international language needed? Of course an international language is needed so that people from different parts of the world can speak the same language. Just imagine if no language is used as an international language. Indonesia alone has 1121 languages ​​as recorded by BPS in 2010. How many languages ​​if the whole world? Of course an international language is required. 

    In this era of globalization, it certainly makes our lives easier. One of the impacts of globalization is free trade. This will certainly attract foreign investors to invest in Indonesia. Not only that, Indonesia’s natural charm also attracts many foreign tourists to come and vacation in Indonesia.

   Now it’s easy for us to meet people who are not native to Indonesia and speak English. What if you suddenly meet a foreigner, what Indonesians call foreign tourists? Are you going to talk to you or just looking away? What if the foreigner asks you? For those of you who are fluent and accustomed to speaking English, of course you will take it easy, but what about those of you who cannot or are not very fluent in speaking Indonesian?

    English has entered the curriculum at all levels of education. There are even schools that require students to speak full English during teaching and learning activities at school. This of course can be the basis for you to be able to understand English that is common and used in daily activities
