The English Language

English is now the universal language of the world, mainly because it is made up from all of the world’s languages. From its conception over 1,540 years ago in England, words from every language have helped to make up the English language. This is the strength of English. The increase of English Learning nowadays throughout the world has magnified the importance of English not as a mere universal language but most significantly, a key to a whole world of culture and comers.  Learners would generally say it is difficult to learn English, especially with the pronunciation; it is so difficult because more than 60% of English spelling is not phonetic, so the spelling does not help you to pronounce words correctly.

A language is more than just grammar and a collection of words; it is a means of communication between people, which is why you can never really learn a language from a book or from just studying grammar, this is just learning the mechanics of a language. You have to use a language, to really learn it.
