With over 1.5 billion native and second language speakers, English is the most widely spoken language on earth. About a quarter of the world's population speaks English, most of them having learned it as a second language. In this brief article we will discuss the interesting history of English.

When Germanic tribes invaded Britain in the 5th century AD, the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. The three tribes that conquered the region were the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. The Angles spoke a language called Englisc — from which the words English and England were derived.

In fact, all of the Germanic tribes conversed in languages that were strikingly similar. The British inhabitants of the islands slowly began to adopt these new tongues and make them their own. The language they spoke is now known as Old English. If you were trying to rent London or Rome apartments in Old English, the agent would have difficulty understanding you. (more...)

So it is no wonder that the British explored and studied civilizations they came across with. Italy, Rome and Greece are traditional destinations of Britons travelling at sea. Rome's port is now Civitavecchia, 100 Km. north. Yet you can set your boat also in the mouth of the Tiber.

The Allure of the Seas is a fitting name for the new Royal Caribbean Cruises ship. Although a sister ship to one already in existence, it is technically the largest cruise ship in the world, as it is actually two inches longer than the Oasis of the Seas.

Beginning its service at the start of December, this luxury cruise ship is more like a small city than a ship. Boasting swimming pools, restaurants and even a full size carousal, this huge ship is like a floating paradise.

It is designed for use by families and couples alike, with a specific youth area, cinemas and even a casino. It is fair to say that a cruise aboard the Allure of the Seas is a combination of luxury, paradise, relaxation and fun. (more...)
