As basic as the screwdriver

Antonio Sanz might as well have won the lottery. In 1965, when the small, curly-haired Spaniard was 10, an American professor asked his parents if she might take the boy to the U.S. and enroll him in public school. They agreed. America seemed to offer a brighter future than the dairy farms where his father worked in the foothills north of Madrid. Sanz left, but came back to Spain every summer with stories from Philadelphia and boxes of New World artifacts: Super Balls, baseball cards, and Bob Dylan records.

His real prize, though, was English. […]

Sanz, now 46 and a father of three, employs his Philadelphia English as an executive at Vodafone PLC in Madrid. But something funny has happened to his second language. These days, English is no longer special, or odd, or even foreign. In Paris, Düsseldorf, Madrid […], English has put down roots. “What else can we all speak?” Sanz asks.


Basic tool.

No surprise there. English is firmly entrenched nearly everywhere as the international language of business, finance, and technology. But in Europe, it´s spreading far beyond the elites, Indeed, English is becoming the binding agent of a continent, linking Finns to French and Portuguese as they move toward political and economic unification. A common language is crucial, says Tito Boeri, a business professor at Bocconi University in Milan, “to take advantage of Europe´s integrated labor market.”

English, in short, is Europe´s language. And while some adults are slow to embrace this, it´s clear as day for European children. “If I want to speak to a French person, I have to speak in English,” says Ivo Rowekamp, an 11-year-old in Heidelberg, Germany.

The implications for business are enormous. It´s no longer just top exes who need to speak English. Everyone in the corporate food chain is feeling the pressure to learn a common tongue as companies globalize and democratize. These days in formerly national companies such as Renault and BMW, managers, engineers even leading blue-collar workers are constantly calling e-mailing colleagues and customers in Europe, the U.S. and Japan. The language usually is English, an industrial tool now as basic screwdriver. […]

How much is English worth? In jobs form offices to the factory floor, recruiters say that workers who speak English often command salaries 25% to 35% above those who don´t.

Tach girliii und willkommen im Forum!

Da muss ich Dich leider ein wenig enttäuschen: wir machen hier nicht Eure Aufgaben für Euch! Du musst für alle Aufgaben einen sorgfältig geschriebenen Vorschlag Deinerseits einstellen, sorgfältig betone ich deshalb, weil es nicht genügt, 2 1/2 Sätze "hinzuschmeißen". Wir müssen schon sehen, dass Du Dich bemühst. Und dann korrigieren wir und helfen mit Tipps, so wir können.

Also auf! Und versuche Dich erstmal selbst an den Aufgaben, ja!?

Grüße
