Mum is the Word!

Mother is the most beautiful word in theEnglish language, according to a survey of over 40,000 overseas votersand learners of English at British Council teaching centres around theworld. The survey was conducted to coincide with our 70th anniversarycelebrations.

Greg Selby, Communications & Marketing Officer at The British Council who is responsible for managing the project said:

“It’s interesting that Mother, the only word ofthe 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top ofthe poll. It is great to see words in the survey that are so positiveand suggestive of the British Council’s purpose; words such as freedom,liberty, peace, renaissance, and destiny. These chime with our aim tohelp millions of people worldwide access opportunity through English,and promote stronger ties and improved perceptions of the UK.”
