2. Different or alike?
3. A way of learning languages
4. A world language
5. Greedy borrower
6. A universal language
7. A special day
8. A language teacher

A. Do you know how many people there are who speak English? It’s quite a number! The exact figure is impossible to tell, but it is around 400 million people. Geographically, English is the most widespread language on earth, and it is second only to Chinese in the number of people who speak it. It is spoken in the British Isles, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and much of Canada and South Africa. English is also a second language of another 300 million people living in more than 60 countries.

B. In Shakespeare’s time only a few million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. But as a result of various historical events English spread all over the world. For example, five hundred years ago people didn’t speak English in North America: the American Indians had their own languages. So did the Eskimos in Canada, the aborigines in Australia, and the Maoris in New Zealand. The English arrived and set up their colonies. Today, English is represented in every continent and in the three main oceans — the Atlantic, the Indian and the Pacific.

C. English is mixing with and marrying other languages around the world. It is probably the greatest borrower. Words newly created or in fashion in one language are very often added to English as well. There are words from 120 languages in its vocabulary, including Arabic, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.

D. A century ago, some linguists predicted that one day England, America, Australia and Canada would be speaking different languages. But with the arrival of records, cinema, radio, and television, the two brands of English have begun to draw back together again. Britons and Americans probably speak more alike today than they did 50 or 60 years ago. (In the 1930s and 1940s, for example, American films were dubbed in England. It’s no longer the practice today.) Canadian English, Australian English, South African English, and many other ‘Englishes’ around the world are coming to resemble one another.

E. People have long been interested in having one language that could be spoken throughout the world. Such a language would help to increase cultural and economic ties and make communication between people easier. Through the years, at least, 600 languages have been proposed, including Esperanto. About 10 million people have learned Esperanto since its creation in 1887, but English, according to specialists, has better chances to become a global language.

F. For linguists across the continent, the 26th of September is a time of celebration-it is the European Day of Languages. The aim of the day is to focus on encouraging people to start learning a language. They take part in events celebrating learning and speaking other languages and consider the benefits that language learning can bring.

G. The suggestion: ‘Languages are learned, they are not taught’ is very productive. A new term ‘self-access work’ is not homework, it is class work; another one is do-it-yourself. So, it is the person who learns, the teacher who only helps, assists, trains learners to be more responsible, motivates, involves everybody into the learning process, encourages them to speak and promotes discussions.

v The longest word in the English lan guage is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilic ovolcanokoniosis (a lung disease), with 45 letters.

v The longest words in common use are disproportionableness and incomprehensi bilities (21 letters).

v The commonest letter is ‘e’. More words begin with the letter ‘s’ than any other.

v The most overworked word in English is the word set. It has 126 verbal uses and 58 noun uses.

Have you ever wondered why the English language has different words for animals and meats?

An amazing 10,000 loan words entered English during this period, including such words as table, chair, carpet, country, state, nation, law, army, battle, peace, design, beauty, romance — and, of course, many words for food.

How many is enough?

Scientists say that the average vocabulary of a native speaker is 5,000 words. William Shakespeare, however, used 30,000 words!

Other languages absorb English words too, often giving them new forms and new mean ings. So many Japanese, French, Spanish and Germans mix English words with their mother tongues that the resulting hybrids are called Japlish, Franglais, Spanglish and Denglish. In Japanese, for example, there is a verb Makudonaru, to eat at McDonald’s.

One of the many ‘Englishes’ spoken and written today is Euro-English. Euro-English has its origins in the political arena of the European Community. Here is a humorous article about the future of Euro-English published in a Canadian newspaper.

The European Union has announced that an agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communi cation. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty’s Government agreed that English spelling had some room for improve ment and has accept ed a five-year plan for what will be known as Euro-English (‘Euro’ for short).

In the first year, V will be used instead of the soft ‘c’. Sertainly sivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also, the hard ‘c’ will be replaced with ‘k’. Not only this should klear up kon fusion, but typewriters kan have one less let ter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f. This will make words like ‘fotograf 20 per cent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the state where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will encourage t he removal of double let ters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent ‘e’s in the lan guag is disgrasful. In the fourth year, peopl wil be replasing ‘th’ by ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’.

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘o’, and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

ZE DREM VIL FINALI KUM TRU!

A century ago, some linguists predicted that one day England, America, Australia and Canada would be speaking different languages. Noah Webster, for example, said that American English would be ‘as different from the future language of England, as Dutch and Swedish are from German, or from one another’. But with the advent of records, cinema, radio, and television, the two brands of English have begun to draw back together again. Britons and Americans probably speak more alike today than they did 50 or 60 years ago. (In the 1930s and 1940s, for example, American films were dubbed in England. It’s no longer the practice today.)

A global language

People have long been interested in having one language that could be spoken throughout the world. Such a language would help to increase cultural and economic ties and simplify communication between people. Through the years, at least 600 universal languages have been proposed, including Esperanto. About 10 million people have learned Esperanto since its creation in 1887, but English, according to specialists, has better chances to become a global language. So why not learn it?

Do you speak Cockney?

It’s strange that the differences in Britain itself are greater than those between Britain and other English-speaking countries. For a Londoner, it’s easier to understand an American than a Cockney.

Cockney has a pronunciation, accent and vocabulary unlike any other dialect. Cockneys pronounce ‘wait’, ‘late’, ‘tray’, etc. like ‘white’, ‘light’, ‘try’, etc. ‘Wait for me. Dave!’ becomes, ‘Wite for me, Dive!’, and they drop their aitches: ‘have’ becomes ‘ave’, etc.

Cockney speech is famous for its rhyming slang. A word is replaced by a phrase or a person’s name which rhymes with it. For example, instead of saying ‘I don’t believe it’ a Cockney person might say ‘I don’t Adam and Eve it’.

Here are some more examples of rhyming slang:

wife — trouble and strife

stairs — apples and pears

head — loaf of bread

house — Mickey Mouse

mum — finger and thumb

bread — Uncle Ned

wine — rise and shine

water — fisherman’s daughter

v 80% of all information in the world’s computers is in English.

v 75% of the world’s letters and faxes are in English.

v 60% of all international telephone calls are made in English.

v More than 60% of all scientific journals are written in English.

According to a recent survey, 90% of British teens aren’t going to learn any foreign language. They don’t have to, do they?

Have you ever wondered how many people there are who speak English? It’s quite a number! The exact figure is impossible to tell, but it is around 400 million people.
Geographically, English is the most wide­spread language on earth, and it is second only to Chinese in the number of people who speak it. It is spoken in the British Isles, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and much of Canada and South Africa.
English is also a second language of another 300 million people living in more than 60 countries.
If you add to this the enormous number of people who learn to understand and speak English (like yourself) you will realize that English is indeed a ‘world language’.

Interesting facts
About 5,000 languages and dialects are still spoken in the world today. About 845 come from India.
After English and Chinese, the next commonly spoken language is Spanish.
Sixty-five different alphabets are used in the world today.
The language with most letters is Cambodian. It has 72 letters!
The language with the most vowels is Sedang, a Vietnamese language, with 55 vowel sounds.
The language with the least vowels is Abkhazian. It has only 2 vowel sounds!
Chippewa, the North American Indian language of
Minnesota, has 6,000 verb forms!
No language is known without the vowel a.

In Shakespeare’s time only a few million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. Through the centuries, as a result of various historical events, English spread throughout the world. Five hundred years ago they didn’t speak English in North America: the American Indians had their own languages. So did the Eskimos in Canada, the aborigines in Australia, and the Maoris in New Zealand. The English arrived and set up their colonies.
Today, English is represented in every continent and in the three main oceans — the Atlantic, the Indian and the Pacific.
How it all began

Insatiable borrower
English is mixing with and marrying other languages around the world. It is probably the most insatiable borrower. Words newly coined or in vogue in one language are very often added to English as well. There are words from 120 languages in its vocabulary, including Arabic, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.

Other “Englishes”
Other languages absorb English words too, often giving them new forms and new meanings. So many Japanese, French, Spanish and Germans mix English words with their mother tongues that the resulting hybrids are called Japlish, Franglais, Spangiish and Denglish. In Japanese, for example, there is a verb Makudonaru, to eat at McDonald’s.

There were only 30,000 words in Old English. Modem English has the largest vocabulary in the world — more than 600,000 words.
There are about 60,000 words in common use.
About 450-500 words are added to the English vocabulary every year.
70 per cent of the English vocabulary are loan words and only 30 per cent of the words are native.
The most frequently used words in writ­ten English are: the, of, and, to, a, w, that, is, I, it, for and as.

EMOTICONS
Another way of expressing yourself is to send an Emoticon with your message — a little sideways face which shows how you’re feeling. Made from punctuation marks on your keypad, they take up very little space. The basic smiling face is just a colon, a dash and a close bracket 🙂 and yet when you rotate it. it becomes a smile.

The examples below are the basic emoticons in use:
:-|| angry
🙁 sad
🙂 happy
:-)) vary happy
%-) confused
:’-( crying
😀 laughing
:-0 shocked
:> devilish grin
:-* kiss
😐 not talking
%->- silly
:/)- not funny
:-*- oops!
