Language is the communicative tool between humans, so now more and more people are learning a second language, in all of them, English is the most common. In China English was set up as one of obligatory asignature in all education level.
As English is now the worldwide language, the knowledge of English dotes us the capacity of comunicate around all the world. However, foreign languages whose speaking area are not so extended,such as French, Japanese, Korean, etc. are also chosed by many pepeple, because this offer grants them a big advantadge in the laboral market.
In China the oficial language is mandarin, but at the same time each district have their own local dialect, which are estimated in thousands, and this is really an amazing figure.
Have seen a few years ago saying "what is the most beautiful language in the world - that is your mother tongue!" I love this sentence, because you would not love the world unless you love your country at first.
