We talk a lot about international communication, but Globish is also important for national communication. In many countries, people speak several languages that are all important. Swiss people speak German, Italian, French or Romansh. Belgians speak French, German, Dutch or Flemish. The largest countries like India, and Russia, and China each have many local languages. Israelis speak Hebrew or Arabic. In many cases, all those people only know their own language. They cannot communicate together because they know only one language; their own. In some countries, even people who can speak another language try not to speak it. It is the language of a group they do not like.

关于国际交流，我们谈了很多，但是全球语对于国内交流也很重要。在许多国家，人们说数种同等重要的语言。瑞士人说德语，意大利语，法语或罗曼什语。比利时人说法语，德语，荷兰语或佛兰芒语。世界上最大的国家，例如印度，俄罗斯，和中国，每个国家都有很多方言。以色列人说希伯来语或阿拉伯语。在很多情况下，这些人只知道他们自己的语言。他们不能在一起交流是因为他们只会说一种语言，他们自己的语言。在一些国家，能够说其他语言的人们甚至避免使用其他的语言。因为他们不喜欢说那种的语言的人。

In all those cases, Globish is the solution. It is much better defined than the “broken English” which is left over from sad school days. Already, in many of these countries, people try to communicate in English just because it is neutral. It is not the language of any one group. Globish is good for them because it offers a solution and is easy to learn.

在所有这些事例中，全球语可以作为解决方案。它比那忧郁的学生时代所剩下的“蹩脚英语”更易学实用。正因为英语是中立的，所以在很多这样的国家中，已经有人尝试用其交流了。这样的语言并不属于任何一部分人。全球语对他们来说很好，因为它提供了一个解决方案并且容易学习。

For people who do not have the time or the money for a full English program, Globish is good. Its plain and simple English will work for them. With Globish they can learn what they need – but no more. They also like the idea of Globish because it is a solution for the person in the street. English, in most cases, is available for educated people, the upper class. In these countries with more than one language, the rich can travel, and the rich can send their children to study in English-speaking countries. The poorest people also need English, to get ahead in their nation and the world, but they do not have the same resources. Globish will allow the people inside nations to talk more, and do more business there and with the rest of the world. That is the result of Globish – more national talk and more global talk.

对于那些没有时间或金钱来学习一整套英语课程的人来说，全球语是件好事。其简单明了的英语对他们很有用。他们可以学习他们所需要的全球语——但不会过多。他们也喜欢全球语的理念，因为它可以为普通人提供解决方案。大多数情况下，有教养的，上流社会的人才有机会学习英语。在那些有多种语言的国家，有钱人可以旅行，并且将他们的孩子送到英语国家读书学习。要想在他们的国家或世界上取得成功，贫穷的人们也需要英语，但是他们没有相同的资源。全球语可以让人们在国内更多的进行交流，并与国内的以及世界上其他国家的人们做更多的生意。这就是全球语的成果——更多的国内以及国际交流。

What makes Globish more inviting is that people can use it very soon. The learners quickly learn some Globish, then more, then most of what they need, and finally all of it. So, Fast Early Progress (FEP) and a Clear End Point (CEP) improve the student’s wish to continue. The Return On Effort (ROE) is just as important as ROI (Return On Investment) is for a business person. In fact, they are very much alike.

全球语更吸引人的地方在于人们很快就可以使用它。初学者们很快的学习一些全球语，之后更多，接着是他们需要的大部分，最后是全部。因此初期快速进步（FEP）和明确最终目标（CEP）能够增强学生继续学习的渴望。为商务人士预备的付出回报（ROE）与投资回报（ROI）同等重要。事实上，它们很相似。

The average person in the street has valuable skills or ideas that are not being used. If they cannot operate in all of their nation or all of the world, then those skills or ideas have much less value. So we are all investors.

即使是普通人也拥有没有使用的宝贵技能或想法。如果他们不能在他们的国家或全世界施展拳脚，那么这些技能或想法就没有什么价值了。所以我们都是投资者。

There are several ways to learn Globish. Some learners know about 350 to 500 common words in English and can read and say them. Learning Globish can take these people about 6 months if they study for an hour every day, including practice writing and speaking. In six months, with more than 120 days of learning, they can learn just 10 words a day. That should not be too hard.

学习全球语有很多方式。有些初学者们知道大约350-500个英语常用词汇，并且能够读和说这些词语。如果他们每天学习一个小时，包括练习说和写，那么大约要花费6个月的时间。六个月的时间，超过120天的学习时间，他们可以每天仅仅学习10个单词。那样应该不会太困难。

There may not be a class in Globish near you. However, if you know the limitations given in this book, you can direct a local English teacher to give you only those Globish words and only those Globish sentence structures. You are the customer, and you can find English teachers who will do what you ask them to. They do not have to be native-English speakers for you to learn.

或许你无法就近获得全球语课程。但是如果你知道这本书中所给出的界限，那么你就可以指导一个当地的英语教师仅仅教你那些全球语词汇以及语句结构。你是客户，因此你可以找到愿意按你的要求去做的英语教师。对你的学习来说，他们不一定非要是英语母语人士。

Another good thing about this method is that you can start Globish where your last English stopped. If you start Globish knowing 1000 of the most-used English words, then it may take you only 3 months to master Globish. That is one of the best things about learning Globish. You know how much to do because you know where it will end.

这种方法的另一个好处是，你可以从上次停止英语学习的地方重新开始学习全球语。如果你在开始学习全球语之前知道1000个英语最常用的词汇，那么你可能只需要3个月就可以掌握全球语了。这就是学习全球语的最好的优点之一。因为你知道在哪里结束，所以你知道要做多少。

There are Globish learning materials available. This book – in Globish – has the 1500 words and some other things you need to know. There are a number of materials on Globish already written in local languages or in Globish. There are also computer-based courses, and even a Globish course on a cell phone, the most widely available tool in the world. A lot of written and audio Globish can now be in your pocket or bag.

全球语的学习资料也可以利用。这本用全球语写的书包含1500个单词以及其他一些你需要知道的东西。在Globish.com网站上有许多用当地语言或全球语编写的材料。同时还有基于计算机的全球语教程，甚至在这种全世界应用最广泛的工具——手机上也有全球语课程。你现在可以将大量的全球语书面和音频资料放在你的口袋或包里。

We should say a few words about pronunciation here. A good teacher can explain how to make clear English sounds. Most teachers will also have audio for you to practice with those sounds. There is a lot of recorded material for learners to practice with. A lot of it is free on the radio, or the World Wide Web. And all of this audio is usually available with the most perfect English accent you can dream of. It can be the Queen’s accent. It can be President Obama’s accent. It can be whatever you want. Learners should hear different kinds of accents.

这里我们应该就发音说几句。一个好的英语教师可以讲解如何清晰的发音。大多数教师都会有让你练习的录音。初学者们有大量的录音材料可供练习。很多广播里或互联网上的材料都是免费的。而且这些录音材料里往往都是你做梦都想拥有的最完美的英语口音。它可以是女王式发音。它可以是奥巴马总统的口音。你想要什么样的都可以。初学者们应该听各种不同的口音。

You have read here already that a perfect pronunciation is not needed, but only an understandable one, and that is plenty. You must believe this. After all, what is a perfect accent? London? Glasgow? Melbourne? Dallas? Toronto? Hollywood? Hong Kong? They all think they are perfect! Still, it is widely accepted that only native English speakers can really teach English, and that the teachers with another background should feel like second-class citizens. But this world is changing…quickly.

当读到这里的时候，你应该已经明白你不需要完美的发音，但只要能让人听懂，那就足够了。你必须相信这一点。归根结底，哪里的口音是完美的？伦敦？格拉斯哥？墨尔本？达拉斯？多伦多？好莱坞？香港？他们都认为自己才是完美的！尽管如此，人们普遍认为只有英语母语人士才能真正的讲授英语，而那些来自不同背景的教师们就应该感觉像二等公民。但这个世界正在变化…迅速地。

Before this century, any native English speaker in any non-English-speaking city could sound like he or she knew much more about English, just by pronouncing English quickly and correctly. Non-native English teachers were sometimes worried that they were not well-qualified. They worried that people would discover their English was not perfect. There is good news now. Those days are gone. The old ideas might have been correct about English teaching in the year 1900, but not now. This is a new century. And Globish is the new language in town.

这个世纪之前，只是因为能够很快的并正确的读出英语，任何一个英语母语人士在任何一个非英语国家的城市里都可以让人听起来好像他或她更加了解英语。母语非英语的英语教师们有时担心他们是否能胜任。他们担心人们会发觉他们的英语并不完美。 现在有个好消息。那些日子已成过去。那些对于英语教学的老旧观念在1900年可能是对的，但不是现在。这是个新的世纪。而全球语是这个世界新的语言。

If you are such a teacher of English, things will change for you… all to the better.

如果你是个这样的英语教师，那么事情将因你而改变…向着更好的方向。

If you are such a teacher: welcome to a world that really wants what you can do.

如果你是个这样的教师。欢迎来到这个真正需要你所能做的世界。
