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.

Suggestion
the only reason
we should learn a foreign
language
is to visit or work in a foreign
country
, many others opine that the benefits of learning a different
language
are not limited to the job and travel prospects only.
This
essay delves with both points of views. On one hand, it is quite natural that people want to learn a foreign
language
only to be able to communicate with people who speak
this
language
.
Thus
a large number of people learn foreign languages like English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Arabic either to visit/migrate or find jobs in countries where people use these languages. From
this
regards, it seems quite logical that visiting a
country
or working there is the main reason people learn a
second
language
. In my
country
, most of the people learn English and Spanish while almost none learn Russian. Migration and job prospects are the reason that has established
this
trend, I believe.
On the contrary
, research indicates that cognitive development happens faster among children who learn a
second
language
than those who do not.
Furthermore
, learning a
second
language
is mandatory in an academic syllabus and
this
helps us understand diverse cultural and traditional aspects. People who know more languages are capable of reading more books, and understanding the lifestyle of different nationalities. Again, learning a foreign
language
helps us make new friends.
Thus it

Thus, it
is evident that learning a foreign
language
has many other benefits as well. In conclusion, there is no denying the fact that people primarily learn a foreign
language
to travel to or work in a developed
country
. But it is quite evident that there are far many advantages of learning a foreign
language
than to work or migrate to a
country
.
