key to different cultures, art and
history. As you know, English is
the most widespread and a major
world language. Over two-thirds
of the world’s scientists write in
English. It’s also the main language
of international conferences, airline
services, medicine, diplomacy
and international competitions.
I agree that English is one of the
easiest languages in the world and
anyone can start learning it without
hesitation.
AUDIO SCRIPT 2
Aydan: Today on
Lingholic we have
a polyglot and language teacher
Prof. Keith Brendon. There are
many reasons, professor, why we
begin to study foreign languages.
We get too many questions about
how to learn them.
Prof. Brendon: Well, I would say
that foreign languages are very
necessary for people nowadays,
because of growing international
contacts with foreign countries.
Anyone who has a willing can learn
them.
Aydan: Most people think it’s too
late to start learning a language if
they are old enough.
Prof. Brendon: Hmmm…As the
proverb says, “Better Late than
Never!” If a person has got enough
motivation, he or she will soon
make progress.
Aydan: What should learners do
then?
