Many people consider English as the unofficial “world language” because it is so widely used. English is the main language of business across the world. It is the most widely used language on the Internet and social media. The first English Language Day was the result of work by the United Nations. A few years ago, the UN.s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (the UNESCO) created Language Days for each of the UN.s six official languages. The aim was to celebrate the use of different languages around the world and in different cultures. Another goal was to campaign for equal use of all six official languages throughout the United Nations. The other five languages are Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. The UN. celebrated its first English Language Day on April 23, 2010. To improve your understanding of American English, you have come to the right place: learningenglish. voanews. com.
