Oral English Presentation
English is the most spoken language all around the globe. English is spoken in
almost every single corner of the globe. A lot of people are speaking English
as their native language, But the reason why English is so widely spoken is because there
are so many people speaking English as their second and third language. English
is today the third largest language by number of native speakers, after
Mandarin and Spanish. Mandarin is a type of Chinese; which almost every person in
china is speaking. However, if we combine both native speakers, and non-native
speakers, English is probably the most commonly spoken language in the world. With
so many people all around the world speaking English, different varieties will
develop. Your way of speaking English depends on culture and what language you
grew up with.
English in India:
English in India has a status of assistant language, however English is the
most important language in India. After Hindi, English is the most commonly
spoken language in India, and it is probably the most read and written language
as well. Indians who know English, will always try to prove that they know
English. English symbolizes in Indians minds; better education, better culture and
higher intellect.
However, I think some of the people from India, which have Hindi as their
mother tongue and learned English as their second language, speaks in a very
funny way. It’s I bit hard to explain. So I found this video of an
job-interview with an Indian guy. Just listen to the way he talks.

The difference between English and Russian:
English and Russian are very different in important aspect, like their grammar
system significant variations. English has a fairly fixed word order, meaning
is expressed through the addition of words and movement of words within limited
boundaries.
Russia on the other hand, conveys meaning largely through changes in the
composition of words.
Their alphabets: Russian is written using the Cyrillic alphabet, some of
those letters are similar to the letters in the Latin alphabet used by English.
While we used the letters as simple as ABC, but it’s harder for Russians to
learn what seems easy for us.
Russian is largely phonetic language. This means that a word’s pronunciation
can be predicted from its spelling. And its spelling from pronunciation. This
is certainly not the case in English, and usually causes Russian people serious
difficulty and frustration to learn English.
the differences between English and German
German is spoken by about 95 million people all around the world, and is the official
language of Germany, Austria and parts of Switzerland. English and German
both belong to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family.
Because they are so closely related, they share many features. Furthermore, the
English language is pervasive in German media and popular culture. It is not
surprising, therefore, that many Germans learn English quickly and easily.
However, there are a number of aspects of German that commonly interfere with
the correct production of English.
Here is an example: the /th/ sound as in words like the, and thing does
not exist in German, and many speakers have problems producing such words
correctly.
Interesting - still, more examples like in the end would add a plus to the content.
