**课程名称：** 掌握流利英语 **课程概述：** 本课程旨在帮助学习者掌握流利英语，涵盖英语的基础知识，包括词汇、时态、习语以及日常会话。英语属于印欧语系西日耳曼语族，与弗里西亚语、德语和荷兰语（在比利时称为弗拉芒语）关系密切。英语起源于英格兰，现已成为美利坚合众国、联合王国、加拿大、澳大利亚、爱尔兰、新西兰以及加勒比海和太平洋的众多岛屿国家的主导语言。同时，它也是印度、菲律宾、新加坡以及包括南非在内的许多撒哈拉以南非洲国家的官方语言。 在世界大多数国家，英语是首选的外语，这使其成为全球通用语。据估计，目前全球约有三分之一的人口，即约二十亿人使用英语。英语与欧洲和西亚大部分语言，从冰岛到印度，都有渊源，同属印欧语系。其祖先语言“原始印欧语”大约在五千年前由信步于东南欧平原的游牧民族使用。日耳曼语族是其后裔语种之一，通常被划分为东部（勃艮第语、汪达尔语、哥特语，均已灭绝）、北部（冰岛语、法罗语、挪威语、瑞典语、丹麦语）和西部（德语、荷兰语（及弗拉芒语）、弗里西亚语、英语）三个区域语群。尽管与英语关系密切，德语在保留相对复杂的屈折变化系统方面比英语更为保守。弗里西亚语（由荷兰弗里斯兰省居民和石勒苏益格西海岸的岛屿居民使用）是与现代英语最接近的语言。冰岛语在近千年间变化甚少，在语法结构上最接近古英语。 本课程将向您介绍英语的基本知识，为您的英语学习之旅打下坚实的基础。
English language, West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family that is closely related to the Frisian, German, and Dutch (in Belgium called Flemish) languages. English originated in England and is the dominant language of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and various island nations in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It is also the official language of India, the Philippines, Singapore, and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa. English is the first choice of foreign language in most other countries of the world, and it is that status that has given it the position of a global lingua franca. It is estimated that about a third of the world's population, some two billion persons, now use English.English belongs to the Indo-European family of languages and is therefore related to most other languages spoken in Europe and western Asia from Iceland to India. The parent tongue, called Proto-Indo-European, was spoken about 5,000 years ago by nomads believed to have roamed the southeast European plains. Germanic, one of the language groups descended from this ancestral speech, is usually divided by scholars into three regional groups: East (Burgundian, Vandal, and Gothic, all extinct), North (Icelandic, Faroese, Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish), and West (German, Dutch [and Flemish], Frisian, and English). Though closely related to English, German remains far more conservative than English in its retention of a fairly elaborate system of inflections. Frisian, spoken by the inhabitants of the Dutch province of Friesland and the islands off the west coast of Schleswig, is the language most nearly related to Modern English. Icelandic, which has changed little over the last thousand years, is the living language most nearly resembling Old English in grammatical structure.English is widely spoken throughout the world and in this course, you will be introduced to basic English language areas like vocabulary, tenses, idioms, and everyday conversation.
