Knowing English today is absolutely necessary for every educated person, for every good specialist. Learning a language is not easy. This is a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and patience. But it is necessary.

English is taught all over the world and many people speak it very well. In our country, English is very popular: it is studied in schools (sometimes even in kindergartens), colleges and universities.

Everyone will speak English very soon - I'm sure of it. We all need to understand each other. For this we need an international language, and that is English.

At all times, the main popular language was, is and will be English. It is the easiest to learn, since the basis for its understanding is grammar and vocabulary, which is why it is taught in many educational institutions in Russia as the main foreign language.

The role of English in the modern world is quite large, since it is the native language of almost 400 million people, and about 650 million people study it in educational institutions as an additional discipline.

Language, in itself, is a whole system of functions, a means of expressing thoughts and communicating with people. Any single whole has its own origins, including the history of origin and development. This is what is worth mentioning first.

The origin of the language began back in the distant 5th century, when three Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, entered the territory of Britain. Since they all spoke similar languages, Old English was subsequently formed. Over the course of several centuries, the land of Britain was repeatedly invaded by Norman invaders. They brought many French words into the English language. In the 14th century it was called Middle English. Beginning in the 16th century, a change in vowel sounds began. This process began to occur in connection with the improvement of Britain’s relations with different countries of the world. Due to this, many different words and phrases have entered the lexicon of the language. With the development of printing, English grammar began to be based on theoretical knowledge. It was in 1604 that the first English dictionary was published. The language further developed by borrowing words from other languages.

Nowadays, English has become the most important language compared to others. Since it is an international language, it is necessary to know it at least at the initial level. Today they begin to study English not only at school or university, but also in preschool institutions. It is important to understand that training in this discipline is carried out, first of all, for the development of a person, his personality, so that in the future he can use these skills within the framework of his profession.

In fact, many people do not understand how necessary a foreign language is in the 21st century. Nowadays, it is no secret that languages ​​play a major role when applying for a job. Most professions and positions are prestigious and highly paid, but this only happens in conjunction with knowledge of an additional language, mainly English. Now all large firms and enterprises cooperate not only with Russian partners, but also with foreign ones. Therefore, in order for your deal to be successful in advance, you need to learn to speak the language, even if not perfectly, but even the initial level is not enough here. It is worth constantly working on yourself and developing not only communicative qualities, but also linguistic ones.

Another reason to learn English is the desire to travel the world. Today, in the main foreign resort areas, of course, there are Russian-speaking workers, but if we are talking about free, unplanned travel abroad, then in this case it is still worth learning a foreign language. Knowledge of English makes life much easier for a Russian tourist. Different situations can happen in life: someone is sick, lost, or simply asks for help - in all these cases, without knowing the language, a person will simply disappear. Of course, in the world of high technology, people can use their smartphone and use a voice translator to explain what they need. But our gadgets do not last forever, and they tend to run out of charge. This is precisely where our knowledge of English will come in handy.

It is impossible not to say that you can learn a language just for yourself for the purpose of self-development and self-improvement. We live, first of all, for ourselves, which means we decide for ourselves how it will be better for us. It will be much more pleasant for any person to talk about something with a foreigner himself than to do it through an interpreter. After all, this will be a tremendous experience in learning a foreign language.

In the world of high technology, one cannot help but notice the trend of development and creation of various inventions and programs. Most of them are based on foreign software and settings. Be it a laptop, tablet, phone, printer or any program - they are all initially a foreign product, even having a foreign manual for use, mostly English. Therefore, every person who wants to be fluent in technology should know English.

The main category of the population that speaks English, albeit not perfectly, is young people. As a rule, this process occurs during playing computer games. Teenagers spend a lot of time on the computer, and since all the popular games are global hits, the manual is also in English. Consequently, children subconsciously learn a foreign language without knowing it. Another way to learn a language is through films and music. Currently, the main product of consumption among young people is foreign films. They are very popular not only among European countries, but also in Russia. Most of them are produced in English format. The desire to listen and see something new motivates young people to learn the language in order to understand what is being said.
