Foreign languages

Knowledge of foreign languages is especially important today because they are the main and the most efficient means of information exchange between the people of our planet. Students should learn English as a foreign language because today English is the language of the world. Over 350 million people speak it as a mother tongue. The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, in the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the official languages in the Irish Republic, Canada and South African Republic. As a second language it is used in the former British and US colonies.

It is the major international language for communica­tion in such areas as science, technology, business and mass media. English is used as one of the official lan­guages of the United Nations Organisation and other political organisations. It is the language of computer software, literature, education, modern music and inter­national tourism.

Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and pa­tience. But every educated person, every good specialist has to know English because it is absolutely necessary nowadays.

It is well known that reading books and magazines in the original, watching films and talking with the native speakers helps a lot. When learning a foreign language you learn the culture and history of the country where this language is spoken.
