In the article “English - The Language of Global Business?” Is written by Dorie Clark. Right now, English is the preferred language in the business area. As many of us know the Chinese economy is growing fast, are Mandarin about to be the preferred language of business? No is the answer. The English language is going to be a “basic skill needed for the entire workforce. Scandinavians are the second best to speak English. In our world it is really important to have the ability to speak a second or third language. Only 10 percentage in America can speak a second or third language. It is especially the people Scandinavian and the Dutch who masters the English as their second language, when you move south, their English decline. Asia doesn’t speak English as good as Scandinavians, but they still can speak the language. If you go to Africa, bringing google translate with you would be a good idea.
Pros
There is one big thing that I think everyone would love of English being a global lingua franca and that is, that everyone would a chance to understand each other. The majority of us knows from a vacation in the southern Europe, where a lot of them can’t speak English and from that you get a lot of misunderstandings. The ability to speak more than your main language is also important for becoming a global leader. People can also still learn other languages if they want, but a common language will help to unify the world. It will also encourage immigrants to develop the English ability necessary in this country for economic advancement. With English as the lingua franca you also don’t have to choose a language that some people in the conversation can speak.
