Beware! Outbrake confirmed

An outbreak of language has officially been confirmed. Communicable by mouth and highly infectious, English language has become all but uncontainable . Over the past four centuries it has crossed oceans and continents and nowadays it has become the second language to all of Europe and the vast majority of other countries.

In additon to personal reasons for preferring English language, one must not forget that it is one of the official languages in the UN and it is widely recognized as an international business language.

With the appearance of the Internet and due to large part of information being in English, people from all around the world have been either forced to learn it or they have done it willingly. Either way the result is the same. Hollywood production also helped, which made some people develop a criterion that all good movies must be in English.

All this does not necessarily need to be a bad thing. With the borders open for students transfers and touristic travel you need a way of communicating with foreigners. That is not a problem anymore. You can have all your lectures in English and be confident that the people you meet will understand you. Benefits of having a world language are huge.

However, there are some downsides, unless, of course, you are a native speaker of English and as such its passionate proponent. As a result of rapid progression with which English is spreading on social networks (Facebook), movies, internet, business world and fashion magazines, we find our own language flooded with strange expressions and new words. There is no doubt that, with the current situation and given some time, our mother tongue will eventually be irreversibly transformed.

All in all, with so many benefits of knowing English language, you are bound to learn it, but you must also make sure not to forget your own indentity.
