Most people consider English to be a global language because it is the one language that is spoken and understood by the majority of the population in almost every region of the world. What is a global language? While there is no official definition, it refers to a language that is learned and spoken internationally by native and second language speakers (Mastin, 2011). There are approximately 360 million native English speakers and almost twice as many speaking it as a second language, making English one of the topmost spoken languages in the world (Klappenbach, 2019).

Teach English Abroad: Salary and cost of Living
One detail that people should consider when deciding where to work as an English teacher is how their potential salary weighs up against the local cost of living. Of course actual salaries vary and depend on a number of factors such as individual schools, a teacher's experience and qualifications. Similarly, cost of living depends greatly on personal lifestyle, wants and needs.
It is possible to gain an idea of the average salary and cost of living for individual countries and that is what we have tried to present here. Comparing salaries with cost of living is important because a high salary does not necessarily mean you will have more money at your disposal.
