English Gives You Much But Not Everything.

When people tell me English gives you everything, they make me laugh.  Just count how many English-speaking people in the Third World countries live the poor way. They are native speakers but it changes anything not much. Why is it so? The answer is pretty simple.  A language is more about a method not about a profession or a mean of getting money.  So have a profession and then speak an international language or languages. This is the best and the most wise decision.  English gives you much but not everything.

What Variant of English Is the Most Popular in Ukraine?

What variant of English is the most popular in Ukraine? Me as a person who has dedicated his life to the study of foreign languages can answer the question in the very best way.  Here, in Ukraine, everybody is taught as if London variant of British English in school.  In fact the most of secondary school graduates don’t speak English at all or use disastrous Ukrlish or Runglish. Those few really can communicate English prefer American English. Why so? The answer is simple the most of English intellectual products here are from the US so American English is more natural to local people than British English.  Talking about International English that is very popular in Europe it is worth to admit that it’s not needed here because Ukrainians are business contacted to Russians and Polish people in most of the cases and use Russian and Polish to communicate as well. The biggest part of Ukrainian companies with International contacts hires professional translators and interpreters those as I’ve already mentioned prefer American English.
