PM Gordon BrownUK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced a new internet project to vastly expand the teaching of English.
A teach-yourself-English site will also allow people worldwide to make use of a form of one-to-one tuition using internet telephony systems.
Mr Brown said it would be aimed first at China and initial hopes were for it to get one million hits a week.
Brown wants everyone to be able to learn English, no matter their position in life. If his plan works, the world could become a much smaller place because of more English speakers. However, it has yet to be seen how willing China will be in letting its people learn English in this setting.
