The linguistic problem is again being revived. There have been some attempts to promote Esperanto a universal language. There are six international languages which are English, French, Spanish, Arab, Chinese and Russian. This means that they have a language which is already in writing.
With regards to this, what language do you prefer? English is taught everywhere in the world. It is a language which allows working in the economic and financing world. English comes from German like Italian comes from Latin. English has been the language of the free market world.
The second language, which is French, is from France. French is the language of diplomacy. French is from the Isle of France in the North of France. Therefore, French is good for negotiations.
The third language which is Spanish is mostly spoken in Latin America and in Guinea Equatorial. Latin America is very agriculturalist. Spain enjoys of a good weather where you can go to the sunshine anytime.
Now, Arabic is becoming pathetic because no one is learning it whereas the Arab community lives in North Africa. Probably to know better Africa and the problem of climate change we must read Arab and study Egypt mythology and Lawrence of Arabie.
Chinese has been a big surprise. Not many people speak Chinese. There are those who flee the abundant food from the rivers of China. Creole seems to have integrated Chinese.
Last but not least, Russian is gaining more importance. During summer the Red army used to sing songs in long fur coats. Russian is good to study because of the alphabet and grammar.
We know now all the international languages. The problem is to select which language is more helpful with regards to education, social life and work. So, finally there is a competition between languages.
