Experience - IX

It's an undeniable fact that English is the dominant language in the world, and this situation should last for the next 30 years. As a result, English is the best choice as your second language.
Even though some of us have learned Mandarin, French, or Japanese, and in the United Nations the official languages are English, French, Mandarin, and Russian, Arabic and Spanish, English is the only language you can rely on to communicate with whoever you know as many people in the world use English as a second language. If you speak Chinese to a person from India and he does not know how to reply, both of you feel OK; but if you speak English to the same person and he still does not know how to reply, he feels embarrassed. People feel embarrassed not knowing how to speak English.

We are fortunate enough in Hong Kong to learn English since we were kids, so it is not difficult for us to pick up the language again. Nevertheless, if you really want to improve your English, choose a good school such as the British Council. With good English, the world is yours.
