For beginners just learning a new language and even for the learned, it’s easy to think that English is the most spoken language in the world. Actually, that’s not true. The most spoken language in the world is Mandarin Chinese followed by Spanish and then English. However, it is generally understood that the most commonly spoken language in the world is English. More information is available at Wikipedia regarding English and who uses it. It’s an interesting subject no matter where you come from.
However, my belief is that the most common language is music. For centuries, many cultures have been communicating with the sound of drums. The guitar is widely used in every country around the world. If you like listening to what’s being played live or on the radio, you are just one of millions that most likely, doesn’t know every word or what the lyrics actually mean, but you like the rhythm or the instruments being played.
Humans communicate many different ways. Language is just about half of how we communicate with each other. Dogs and cats can’t speak at all, but they communicate nicely with a bark and meow. Maybe even a growl and a hiss.
Body language, speaking intonation, stress and the volume all play key roles in communicating a message. Add to all of this smell and the eyes and now getting a message across isn’t so difficult.
If you are communicating with someone in another language, just remember that language is about half of your communication skills.
