Information on different non-English languages

Here are some quick facts for those wanting to learn another language, especially if you have not decided which language to study. The number of living languages is 6912, of which 516 are nearly extinct. There are many factors that will influence which language you will study, one of which is the usefulness of that language. How widely is it spoken? Which countries use it as their official language? In which areas of the world is it spoken unofficially? Over 60% of the world's population speak one of 30 languages as their native tongue. Mandarin is the most widely spoken language in the world, with 873 million native speakers and being the official language in the People's Republic of China and Singapore. Following Mandarin is Hindi, with 370 million native speakers, most of which reside in India. The third most widely spoken language is Spanish with 350 million native speakers residing in South America, Spain, Central America, and the United States. English is the fourth most widely spoken language with 340 million native speakers. It is spoken in many countries including Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, Ghana, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, the United States, and Zimbabwe.

Advantages of language schools

There are several ways to learn a language, including correspondence, distance education, online degrees or independent study. However, there are many advantages to studying at an actual college. Throughout the process of education and a student's daily interaction with teachers and classmates, language schools convey social values such as tolerance, responsibility and reliability. Pupils become more driven and learn how to deal with real life situations. Living abroad and visiting an international school offers valuable experiences and chances, which cannot be gained in an ordinary school or by contact with only family and friends.
Language schools offer a wide variety of courses to meet the requirements and needs of every course participant. Developing theoretical and practical language abilities are just part of the students' tasks. They also improve their communication skills making it easier to interact with people from various walks of life.  Studying at language school provides a set time frame for completing modules as well as deadlines for assignments and exams, encouraging regular study and learning a new language in an effective and timely manner.
