For half a century, the study of foreign languages has changed a lot. Previously, learning was most often limited in educational institutions, but now languages have become available to everyone. First of all, the system of teaching has changed, now the language has become more colloquial. The time to search for information was significantly reduced, so the brain began to consume it in large quantities. The reason for the popularity of the English language is due to historical events. England and the United States had and still have a great influence on all spheres of our life, just as the United States had more colonies, which means more countries where they "settled" their language. So does the countries’ economy. In countries where the economy is more developed, people try to live and learn the language accordingly. In most cases, it is teenagers who study languages, who are focused on education, as you cannot do without a language. But it's not just personal growth that is the reason for learning a language. It also develops the brain well, makes thinking broader. The knowledge of languages offers many opportunities and prospects for the future.
