ENGLISH – GREATEST LANGUAGE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
A H writes > All my life I have thought just how lucky we are in New Zealand…..an Island at the bottom of the Pacific, and we grow up learning the greatest language in the history of the world.
………for example all International Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers must know how to speak English…..yes all the Chinese, Russians, French, Spanish & Iranians pilots must know how to speak English, or they can’t fly their own countries planes internationally.
Imagine all the great films that are in English……English is the international language of commerce….no other language comes close to international dominance of the English language.
Very smart Maori in the 1800’s, many who had already travelled around the World knew with a 100% certainty that if their tamariki were going to get on in the world that they had to able speak, read and write in English……200 years later absolutely nothing has changed.
