2. Social networking and relationships – becoming a global citizen
English is not only the main language of business, but also the main language of social interaction. Although most countries have their own language, English is the one language that unites the entire world. Knowing English is the most important step towards becoming a global citizen – a person that can live anywhere, thrive anywhere, and speak to anyone. Would it not be amazing to overcome all communication barriers and be able to exchange thoughts and ideas with someone your age, or from your field of work, from say China or Brazil? Forming lasting relationships, not only for business, but also for friendship or for romance has the English language as the common denominator.
