Which Language Does Every Country Want to Learn in 2024?

Word experts at Word.Tips commissioned us to update their yearly report exploring the most popular languages among language learners in 2024.

We started by compiling a list of the most-spoken languages in the world and translated the following phrases into 119 languages covering the countries in our dataset:

• [Language Name] language (e.g., "English language")
• Study [Language Name] (e.g., "Study English")
• Learn [Language Name] (e.g., "Learn English")

We then used Semrush to gather the monthly Google search volumes estimated for those phrases translated into each country's official or widely used languages. Finally, we scaled these figures relative to the number of internet users in each country and the Google Search engine market share (if the market share was 50%, we doubled the search volume.)
