It’s like a fever pitch. It blows all our nations like a tornado. We hardly get out of this from when we were young to adult. That’s English. English is more and more powerful to influence its power in international society. If we travel, if we can use English, there’s no problem except that country is far from the civilization. But I don’t agree about choosing English for our second language because of history and harmful effect to our own language and losing soul.

           You might know about history of Roman Empire. That country’s influence is so huge and wide that even in Asia knew about them. They had very high technology and extreme power in military force. In this era, Roman language, Latin was the standard of education. That means everybody want to learn Latin. But they were fallen down and separated with several countries. Now who learn Latin? There are very few persons who want to learn this language. Comparing this fact with English, we never know when they fall and crush down. Especially, China is growing very fast and making the America’s position down than before. This time is not good to choose the English as a second language.

           To choose the English as a second language makes our country’s language ‘Han-Gul’ in danger. If this law is acting, almost every persons choose English first because ‘Han-gul’ is not popular language in international society. Surely it hurt our language very severely.

           Final reason we should not choose English as a second language is that ‘Han-gul’ has our nation’s soul in it. Language has been developed in step by step from the ancient. Before we born, we used and sophisticated it. For example, King Se Jong, which is the king at Jo Sun era, made it first for ordinary people to help to understand and talk easily. Surely, it’s very scientific also there is generous mind in there and has the soul of that time’s idea because it was made base on our people’s verbal language. How can we abandon our ancestor’s wisdom because of our temporary profit. This is totally nonsense.

           Other nations, especially European country, even don’t choose English as a second language. They keep their language up in spite of pressure of benefit from English. In some respect, language can be the invisible war between nations. To survive in this war, we need to sophisticate our language rather to concentrating English as a second language
