Nearly 7,000.
3. How many billion people speak the UN's

To some students, it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English. There are, however, nearly 7,000 languages in the world. After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn't English - it's Spanish! Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible.
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN. As they think it means better job chances in the future. The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish. They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as their native or second languages.
Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.
What do you think Which other language would you choose to study and why
My father is doing business with Russians. I'd like to learn Russian so I can help him in the future.
I like watching Japanese cartoons,
so I'd like to learn Japanese.
Perhaps I should study French. I
think it sounds beautiful, and I
know it's used in many countries.
Discuss which other language(s) you want to learn and why.
A: What language do you want to study
B: I really want to study French. I think that the French language sounds
beautiful.
A: Why Do you want to go to France some day
B: Yes, I'd love to. Also, French is used by many international
organisations around the world. Do you know that FIFA's full name is
in French
A: Oh, I remember that. But I don't know how to pronounce it.
Read the words to each other and see if you pronounce them differently.
