Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

This

essay will discuss both sides and

state my view.

Firstly

, due to the advent of technology and

also

the century where we live, we cannot afford to remain in our home country without visiting other countries. People that take up a job or travel to other nations need to learn their

language

so as to Foster good relation and to make their lives easy.

master other languages for diplomacy. I could remember in 2013 when one of the Kings in Arabic nation visited Nigeria, the government looked for a Nigerian that was

for interpretation from English to Arabic

.

This

has resulted in smooth communication and understanding between the two leaders.

marriage is one of the reasons why people have knowledge of another

not from your race, you have to learn her

should be individualised rather than generalised.
