English is a must. traveling to any continent even every contingent the language that is most useful for you to know is English, most of the sighs for everyday life in every country are written in its official language and in English. Most of the literature, books, newspapers, and magazines, are at least translated into English. Most of the international organizations and multinational companies use English as a way of communication. "The language of Business." Most of the people who are bilingual choose English as their second language, because it is essential for communication. Everyday people learn more and are more

society.

you.
Language even works for movements it is used also for “chopping
sexism out of language”(The Story of English). It could even turn words like
“history into herstery”(The Story of English).
