WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT ENGLISH?


What would we do without English? EVERYBODY knows the answer to that. NOTHING. We wouldn’t be able to do ANYTHING in this world without using English. In today’s business-minded world, let’s take a look at how important the English language has become to conduct and take part in businesses around the world.

English operates as the lingua franca of today, i.e. the language that businesspeople around the world use to communicate when they don't speak the same native languages. Understanding English is necessary to succeed in international business.
English has emerged as the global language of trade and commerce in the past few decades, affecting many key aspects of business in the modern world and has become the standard for all important official communications in an increasingly large number of countries with a wide variety of native languages. In the modern world, thanks to the Internet, English continues to spread as the major medium through which both small businesses and large corporations do business. English became the unifying language in the area of business, which included the fields of shipping, travel and commerce.

English is a global language for doing business. In some industries such as the airline and shipping industries, English is the official standard language. Therefore, an excellent command of English is required for such key jobs. In addition, English has emerged as a major language for finance and the stock markets around the world.

People wishing to do businesses globally need to have a good command of spoken English. The ability to clearly write in English is also crucial as many forms of business communication- from emails to presentations and marketing to important business contracts- are written in English.

Doing Business on the Internet
In today’s high-tech world, where everyone has knowledge of how to operate computers, doing business over the internet has now become possible. English has emerged as one of the major languages for doing business on the Internet. A website written in English can attract many customers and enable even small business owners in remote villages to sell items to people around the world. Well-written product and service descriptions in English are important for attracting new customers and keeping them up to date on any new product offerings.
According to Global Envision, English is the official language in more than 70 countries, and English is taught in schools around the world. Knowing English opens new business doors. You have the chance to land jobs in which English fluency is required, and you can communicate clearly with contacts and potential clients.

Thus is the importance of the English language. We now know that we can’t take the language for granted and how important it is for each and every one of us to know English in order to bag even the smallest job in today’s world.
