You certainly will not be surprised if I tell you that English is one of the most spoken languages in the world. Indeed, if you speak this diverse and beautiful language, you have a great chance of being able to communicate with at least one person in almost every country in the world. Knowing that, you can probably understand that speaking English is a great perk when traveling or when trying to communicate with someone who doesn’t speak your first language. This is one the many reasons that make me glad to be an English speaker.
