Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel or to 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.

Bilingual and even multilingual people are becoming the new trend among certain demographics of society. These people believe that learning other nations’ languages can be useful for many purposes that are as essential as mind development. Others see no benefit in

that, except

for those who plan to go overseas for work or travel. I personally disagree with

this

, there are many reasons for which someone should learn a

language

despite the extensive efforts that

one

has to make. In many countries, there has always been

one

single official and spoken

language

,

therefore

it might seem logical for some people that learning a foreign

language

can be beneficial only if

one

is planning to go abroad, but for those who plan to stay, doing that can be as unappreciated as carrying water to the sea. They simply claim that learning a different

language

in a country where it is not used is, in fact, a waste of time and energy.

For instance

, If you’re a French citizen and you try to speak Chinese in France, people understanding you and institutions being able to communicate with you are close to zero. And because the main reason behind the creation of

language

is to facilitate communication between human beings, these people can’t perceive any other advantages of speaking foreign languages. Despite the fact that learning a foreign can be a very exhausting and time consuming process, we still have many people nowadays who speak at least 1 or 2 additional languages

in addition

to their mother tongue. And for them, saying that going abroad should be the only motive to do so is completely preposterous. In order to defend their belief, they simply rely on scientific research that has been able to prove in the

last

decades that bilingual brains are much more intelligent, fast, and creative compared to the brain of those who stick to

one

language

in order to express their thoughts.

For example

,

one

of the experiments that have been conducted

showed

to show

that the skill of word retrieving take no more than 2 seconds in a person with bilingual abilities while it takes others more than 10 seconds. And that illustrates perfectly that the benefit of learning a foreign

language

goes beyond using it in a foreign country. I personally support completely the latter opinion. I believe that learning a foreign

language

is not destined only for people who live abroad. I happen to speak two different languages

in addition

to my native

one

, and it has helped me a lot to build relationships with people from all over the world and it enabled me to understand and be part of some of the most fascinating cultures.
