 skills. They used only one

 and were completely unfamiliar with languages of other countries.
Thus
, there was no concept of learning a foreign
language
 in the past. (44) Presently, the trend of learning international languages is spreading all over the world. Nowadays, people like to know the culture, traditions as well as languages of other countries. In
this
 modern era of globalization, foreign
language
 is not only necessary for those who frequently travelled to other countries or work abroad, but it is
also
 a key skill for success in both academic and professional fields.
For example
, learning a foreign

 is essential for students who want to go abroad for studies as they have to f

 requirements of universities.
Similarly
, the
knowledge
 of foreign languages is compulsory for attracting customers around the globe in an online business network. (112) Due to recent development in Science and information technology, it has now become compulsory for people to have an additional skill of foreign

 expertise.
Thus

Thus
, in my opinion,

also
 a compulsory condition for everyone who wants to interact with i
