The Second Language
Saturday, October 28th, 2006Several days ago, I had this talk with some of my friends. It dealt with the distribution of languages in the world: how much a language like, say, English, is widely spoken? Can you really “get along” anywhere with it? things like that.
Today, in my newspaper, I found a nice report about it. The headline talks about “The fourth widely spoken language in the world”, and the newspaper say that it is… Portuguese.
