There are four aspects in studying languages, “speaking”, “listening”, “reading” and “writing.”
I would like to emphasize reading.
We can get the world information easiest in English.
If I would like to know about the economic and social situation of Greece, it is one of the best ways to read English newspapers in Greece on the internet.
If I would like to know Nigerian situation, I can do the same.
There are certainly English papers in every country.
