    It must be learned, I am a study of history, according to modern historical records, Li Hongzhang's son Li Jingmai timely recommended the Scotsman Johnston to the small court as the emperor's teacher to teach Puyi English. At that time, there was a trend of learning to speak English throughout the country.

    Surely the English of today has evolved from the English of the ancients. Ancient England, Scots and Welsh people all spoke English.

    In ancient times, there was no English, so how to learn it. Even in Europe, Latin and various Germanic dialects (one of which later developed into English) were spoken. English became a mature language after the Renaissance and became an international language in the late 19th century.

    There should be no, the British only came to China during the Qing Dynasty. That's because we in China are dealing with the Persians, and the United States was established later. So no one knew English in ancient times.

    Historically, people in ancient times learned English by hiring Westerners and teaching them at home.

    In ancient China, there was no such thing as the popularization of learning English, and the learning of foreign languages was gradually raised and advocated in the late Qing Dynasty. Because, before the late Qing Dynasty, Middle Ages could be called a world-level power, how could a strong country learn a weak Chinese language? Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, China was gradually surpassed by Western powers, and the British and the rise of the United States led to the counterattack of English, which originated in the 5th century, and became the mainstream language of the world.

    China is because it lagged too far behind European countries in the colonial era, otherwise it is still unknown what the official language of the world is now.

    1. Every country and nation should trade with others in order to communicate with each other and learn each other's language in the first place; 2. In order to disseminate their teachings, religious believers often travel to foreign countries and races without avoiding life and death, and while they spread their teachings, they also spread their culture and language to foreign countries and races. 3. People who immigrate to other places will also bring their languages to other places. Fourth, in the process of conquering foreign nations in ancient dynasties, language and culture will also spread.

    You don't have to be presumptuous, before the closure of the country, only those who understand can learn Some of those people are mixed-race Some have lived in China for a long time Some are because of ** exchanges If you want to make money, you have to learn each other's language In order to survive, you can learn it quickly These people are the main force of foreign language translation. At that time, I didn't think it was an honor to master one or a few foreign languages, because we came from all over the world to congratulate us, and the red-haired ghosts had to come to learn our language in order to trade with us. Of course, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there were specialized foreign language learners, and in the Ministry of Rites, there were schools that specialized in learning foreign languages, and in the later period, there were even schools specializing in foreign languages.

    In fact, classical Chinese is easier for foreigners who can speak English than learning vernacular Chinese, because many grammars in classical Chinese are almost exactly the same as English.

    Moreover, English, like classical Chinese, is a very concise grammar. What foreigners can't stand the most is the verbosity of Chinese vernacular.

    Moreover, the grammar of classical Chinese is relatively standardized. Unlike vernacular Chinese, it is derived from colloquial, disorganized grammar. It's okay to do this, it's okay to do that, foreigners are very uncomfortable.
