Communication holds the key to every human relationship. Starting from cave paintings, smoke signals, even with carrier pigeons, people always found their way to communicate. Nowadays, with the help of technology, communication is more convenient and efficient, straightforward, and fast. However, due to so many languages in our world, we are still finding difficulties in communicating. According to Internet World Stats, only 26% of the total online audience are native English speakers, even though English is the dominant language of the web.
With the internet enabling global information exchange, the world has become a much smaller place.
