Studying Foreign Languages
Every foreign language has its own momentum.
The more you learn, the more you want to learn. Say you love Italian food and decide to study Italian. At first it's hard. But one day you meet some Italian tourists on the bus and you understand enough to point them towards their hotel. Before you part ways, they give you their e-mail address. Now you can easily communicate with them and study some more.

English is not the most widely spoken language (that title goes to Chinese), but it does come in third, after Spanish. And the number of 335 million native speakers is respectable.

In terms of international commerce, English is the language to learn. When the Chinese do business in Egypt, the negotiations and transactions happen in English.
