1. Living in a multicultural world
Today’s world isn’t the same as 100 years ago. In the past, a country has clearly defined its own borders and its own people, a proper language and proper traditions. In this era, especially in the major developed countries of the world and in the major cities, there is a completely different type of life. If for example you go for a walk in the centre of Bruxelles, in the same square you can meet as Belgian as French as Russian as Asian as American people, that are in that location for various reasons, such as work or travel. In a context like this, with different natives languages, it will be impossible to live in the same environment, and for this reason it was established to have a common language for everyone, the English language.
2. International job market
This topic has the same roots of the above one. Today’s world isn’t the same as 100 years ago, also and above all for the job’s world. With the era of globalization, there was a global travel of goods and services. A basic example can be demonstrated if you go to a supermarket. You can encounter between the shelves different types of goods that have come from around the world. This was possible after an international communication, purchases and transports between various countries, all done for sure in the English language. Another example can be done with aviation. How can a Chinese flight crew fly over the world to finally come in a Spanish airport? For sure there is the need of a common language, the English language.
3. Better travel experiences
Think about you, a German passionate traveler that every three months goes to a different country to visit his best places and to know his traditions. One time you go to Mexico and the next three months you go to Nepal, and the next three months again you go to South Africa. For sure it will be hard to travel around these countries speaking only German, but it will be hard also to learn the local language of the country that you are visiting. So I think that you already have the solution.
Conclusion
If in the past the English language was a language used by some people, today it needs to be at least the second language of a person, because his knowledge is fundamental as for work, as for travel, as for meeting new people and other thousands of reasons. Remember, it is never too late to learn this language. Other than school, it can be possible to learn the language via Internet, where there are hundreds of contents also for free where to learn from basics, or via private teachers, or there are also apps for your smartphone where the language is learned by games. So move on and start to learn this special means of transport for the world.
