education, today where ever we go to any college or any school without knowing

other engineering colleges all lectures are in English , different inter college
programs or if student have to take part in college of different country knowing

English is the third most widespread native language in the world, after Standard
Chinese and Spanish. It is the most widely learned second language and is either
the official language or one of the official languages in almost 60 sovereign
states. There are more people who have learned it as a second language than
there are native speakers. English is the most commonly spoken language in the
United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand,
and it is widely spoken in some areas of the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia. It
is a co-official language of the United Nations, of the European Union and of
many other world and regional international organisations. It is the most widely
spoken Germanic language, accounting for at least 70% of speakers of this Indo-
European branch. English has a vast vocabulary, and counting exactly how many
words it has is impossible.
Modern English grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical Indo-
European dependent marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and
relatively free word order, to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection, a
fairly fixed SVO word order and a complex syntax. Modern English relies more
on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspect
and mood, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives and some negation.
Despite noticeable variation among the accents and dialects of English used in
different countries and regions – in terms of phonetics and phonology, and
sometimes also vocabulary, grammar and spelling – English-speakers from
around the world are able to communicate with one another with relative ease.
The first and most immediate effect of English fluency is that you can
communicate with people from different cultures, and this alone will transform
your perspective. Nothing can replace communication, which is the gateway to
true human connection and relationship. Not travel, not education, not
intelligence, and not even good information can replace this.
When you truly connect with people from other cultures, you are exposed to
the naked truth, which forces you to challenge the beliefs and stereotypes
you’ve inherited from your culture and put yourself in their shoes. This makes
it increasingly hard to project your fears and misconceptions on others, and you
realize that other people from other religions, cultures, and backgrounds are not
as different as you once thought.
Your first impression may be that people from other cultures and perspectives
are different, or even weird, but soon you realize that we actually have a lot in
common. This may happen early or later on depending on your age and
maturity, but if you are willing to keep going, meeting people, learning, and
opening your heart and mind up to the world, it will gradually transform you.
The impact is huge! First of all, you start to appreciate the uniqueness of not
only other cultures, but also of your own.
Although you see that your nation is just one of many and not the absolute
reality you previously thought, you discover the uniqueness of your culture and
reflect back upon it with much more awareness. This results in a more balanced
perspective that permits you to recognize both the positive and the negative
inherent in all cultures.
