The English is Coming Book Review & Giveaway



If you are looking for an interesting, fun book to read, I have one for you.

Check out "The English is Coming! How One Language is Sweeping the World" by Leslie Dunton-Downer.

In this book Dunton-Downer discusses how the English language has become the number one language from everything from business and science, diplomacy , education, entertainment, environmentalism, socializing and more. She does this by examining the stories of more than 30 words and how they are understood around the world.

Some of the words the author goes into is:
Hello, Robot, Bikini, Shampoo, Jazz, Cocktail, Made in China, Film, Credit card, lol, Blog, Disco, Star, Business, Parking, T-shirt and many more. She does it in a fun and interesting way. You will find this to be a pretty quick read. You will learn a lot about the English language and how it relates around the world.

You can pick up this book at Amazon starting at $9.80.
