Today in Human Geography, we finished going over the
questions, which were based on the CIA
World Factbook website. We continued that every country is different and
unique. Two things really stuck out to me in the video. First of all, it was
that China will soon be the number one English speaking country in the world.
It stands out to me because China’s native language is Chinese and you wouldn’t
think that they would adopt another language and would be the number one in
that one. That seems very shocking and incredible to me. This will help them
find jobs. Second, there are about 540,000 words in the English language, which
is about five as many as during Shakespeare’s time. It is crazy to think how
many words we have adopted that were derived from other languages. So many
words have evolved since Shakespeare’s time.
There are so many words with origins that are from all around the world.
