When I consider that approximately 375 million people in the world speak English, and equally large number of people speak English as a second language, and around 750 million people speak English as a foreign language, English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. In additon, english is studied by one billion people or more now. In fact, because the foreign language and I might be their one, it is estimated that four people study English. | |||
