The whole world speaks English - a common stereotype. Take, for example, Uganda or China - quite small amount of people speak English there. However, English is indeed a common language spoken in 60 countries around the world. Knowing English, it will be easier to study German, Spanish and French, because a similar lexical base has already been laid. Choosing which language to start learning, you should decide on your own tasks and priorities. Clearly defined goals give rise to motivation, without which teaching any language is ineffective.
Why is it useful to learn English?
- Understanding in many countries around the world
- Ease of communication in travel and business trips
- It is easier to get an education abroad
- Ability to watch the best movies in the original
- The absence of a language barrier in everyday life.
Let's give an example regarding training: you are going to get an education in Spain, in Barcelona, but you do not know Spanish. Knowing English, you will choose a program, and knowing, for example, German or French, it will be difficult to do this. Also with work: it is more useful as a base to learn English, even if you are going to work in a European company.
Having mastered English, and thinking about what to do next, again ask yourself the question, why do you need a foreign language? To think about the issue and make a decision was easier, we offer a selection of five promising languages.
TOP-5 most promising languages
Chinese
China's prospects in terms of economic development are growing by leaps and bounds. China cooperates with many countries of the world, including the United States and Russia, factories and enterprises are being built, where Chinese-speaking personnel are required. There are about 10 dialects in China, but it is worth learning the literary language (usually the Mandarin version).
Spanish
The third most popular language in the world is Spanish. It is spoken not only in Spain, but also in former colonies. Of course, the dialects are different, for example, in Mexico, a very special Español mexicano. Learn classical Spanish and you will be understood in Spain and Mexico.
German
German economy is stable and strong, the country is among the leaders in terms of comfort for life. German is spoken in Austria and Switzerland,so in terms of emigration for work, German will serve a good service.
Arabic
The fourth most widely spoken language in the world. The complexity of Arabic is in the abundance of dialects, and knowledge of the classical language, unfortunately, does not guarantee their understanding.
Japanese
Japanese is the official language only in Japan, but it is widely spoken in other Asian countries as well. Contrary to the stereotype, Japanese has nothing to do with Chinese. Prospects for knowing Japanese are useful in the context of the development of the country's economy and the scientific industry.
Which language is the easiest/most difficult to learn?
If your native language is Russian, it is easier to learn Belarusian, Ukrainian, Serbian and Bulgarian. But why? In a broad sense, these languages do not carry perspective. Therefore, we will choose from interesting European languages that will bring their benefit to the person who has mastered them.
The easiest way for a Russian person is to learn English, Italian, Spanish or French. The simplest is Spanish:easy grammar, spelling and pronunciation - both heard and written. If you already know English, then Spanish will lie perfectly. Next in complexity are Italian and French. And closes the four English - not the easiest for a Russian person.
The main thing in learning languages is burning interest and motivation, a clear understanding of why you are learning the language, then the training is successful and joyful. Otherwise, it is difficult to learn, the brain finds thousands of excuses and excuses, just not to strain (after all, it was prepared for this by thousands of years of evolution!).
Combining the study of languages is not an easy and responsible matter. It is better to divide the load and learn alternately. This is especially true of children whose parents, realizing their own ambitions, try to grow a polyglot from a child. You can overdo it and overload the child, start a backlash of rejection and unwillingness to learn. Everything is beautiful in moderation and pleasure!
