1. Mini-Encyclopaedia

There are numerous reasons for learning English. Due to the world globalisation, a great number of people travel a lot, have friends from other countries, cooperate with foreigners in their own land, study, live or work abroad. As a consequence, they all need to come to a mutual understanding and they often use English to do so, since historically it has become one of the most popular international languages in the world.
