The ever-changing trends of the world affect everything in it. No one is exempted; even the language that people used has shown great changes as the earth revolves. Through the continuing development to satisfy the human needs new words evolved.

During the time of Shakespeare and other classical poets, the words used seen in their writings were very different. The term is called “archaic” language. Many of the present generation writers got inspired with these writings. And they wrote prose and poetry based on the styles of these classical writers. But as the years go by, the writing become different, archaic language slowly diminished, thus today nobody use it anymore.

Comparing both writings, the first will give you a lot of time to comprehend so as to understand what really they are trying to emphasize, I myself had a great time digesting the scenarios presented, while the second, it will just give you a bit of time to comprehend it.

Today is different. The language is not anymore focused on prose and poetry. During the first years of 1980’s, globalization came out. This trend has somehow become tragic especially for the countries just recently started development and some of the countries of Asia. These countries felt the need of their people to learn the English language to cope up with the trends of globalization.

The maxim “no one is an island” somehow realized by these countries, they could not live with their own; they need someone or other countries to live with then. Business became the number one factor in determining the economic growth of a country, and the world market is the central core of every business. It requires every transaction to be written in English so as to understand clearly the terms and conditions to avoid uncertainties.

Learning of a language, particularly English could not be taken overnight. Yet there are institutions offering language studies in just a bit of time. Well, this could be of help, but the mere fact that we are being injected with unfamiliar one; the possible reaction is not favorable. Extreme reactions will occur. The learner may learn or it might develop great confusion about the language.

There ways on how to learn the English language. The best way and the most expensive one is to go or migrate to that place and learn the language by natural way. Since no other language is spoken, the learner will be forced to learn the language. Of course this is not a joke! In fact, some of my friends who migrated to English speaking countries had adapted the way the native speakers do.

The easiest and the cheapest way to learn the language, although this needs a long process, it is successful. The learners have adapted and learn the language also like the native speakers do. The Philippines is the best example, the Government had included in the curriculum the English language. Even before a child started to go to school, he/she already being injected with the second language, and this continues through out the learning stage up to college.

This scenario has been eyed by neighboring countries. Thus today, they started to hire English teachers. These countries even offer a free board and lodging and a roundtrip ticket when the contract is done not to mention the promising remuneration offered.

As mentioned above, due to globalization, the Internet community had created a wide variety on how to learn the language. There are millions of websites offering free service on how to learn the language. As stated above, learning of the English language is taken for granted, lots of the learning institutions forgot to include in their teaching the culture of the language itself. It is not enough that you know how to speak, read and write the language; you should also learn the culture of the language - the deeper side of it.

Why do you think the native speakers of English language pronounce the words like they are passing it through their nose? The nasal or nasal cavities, as one of the factors used in making the words affect the vocal presentations of the words. These native English Speakers’ biological structure of nasal cavities are larger compared to non-native speakers.

Again, I would like to emphasize that learning the English language means we are complying the requirements needed for globalization. Learn the English Language!
