Importance of English
15/12/2020
 La importancia del inglés como
lengua mundial

In recent times, especially since the late nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth
century, English has progressively become the most widely used language in the world. Thus, it
has displaced languages such as French or Italian, even German, which were traditional in
some scientific or artistic fields. Globalization has been of great relevance here as a means
through which English has grown infinitely.

The phenomenon of globalization has contributed greatly to converting English into the most
important and necessary language today, being understood as the language of the dominant
countries worldwide (especially the United States and England). Through cultural consumption
(movies, series, music) and also from political, diplomatic, and economic spheres, English has
been advancing on the native languages of each place, occupying from small places with
colloquial or circumstantial words to allowing idioms to be adopted Abstract concepts, phrases
and phrases even in places where the population does not speak or fully master English.

Thus, today it is essential to train in the level of English not only for work reasons (having a
good level of English is undoubtedly a good gateway to better jobs) but also to communicate,
to be able to access more knowledge and information, to be updated, etc.
