El inglés es el primer idioma más hablado en todo el mundo, por esto aprenderlo se ha convertido en una necesidad para muchos, sobre todo para quienes están en una carrera profesional o estudiantil que quieren llevar al resto del mundo. Sin embargo, parte de nuestro vocabulario debería incluir saber los países y nacionalidades en inglés.
Este tipo de vocabulario se hace aún más importante si consideramos que la gran mayoría de quienes hablan inglés lo hacen de hecho como segunda lengua. De allí la importancia de conocer cómo decir los países y las nacionalidades en este idioma. De esta manera aseguramos que sepamos cómo dirigirnos y hablar de otras culturas de la manera correcta.
