Is English an international language? It has more words than any other language. The grammar is simplier than in the other major languages. However, English spelling is very difficult. Foreigners all have trouble spelling English. So do native speakers. Since 1880 people have invented other artificial languages. No one speaks them as a native language. Some people don't want to learn English, but it is the international language. There is no way to change that now. In the world today English is the most widely used. Chinese is the daily language with more speakers because of the huge population of China, more than one billion people.
