Why did English become the International language? In the middle of the
19th century, French was the international language. Then Britain became very
powerful in the world. England started colonies in North America and India in the
17th century. By 1900, England also had colonies in other parts of Asia, Africa and
the South Pacific. The people in the colonies had to use English. Slowly it became
more important than French internationally. After the Second War, the United
States became very powerful, and even more people began to learn English.
English has more words than any other languages. The grammar is simpler
than in other major languages. Hoever, English spelling is difficult. Foreigners all
have trouble spelling English. So do native speakers!
Since 1880, more than 50 artificial languages have been invented, but no one
speaks them as a native language and none of them has ever become popular. Some
people do't want to study English, but it is the international language. There is no
way to change that now.
