Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language.

The reasons for studying a foreign

language

are questionable. Some, think it is needed only to travel or get a job abroad. Meanwhile, I am of the opinion that there are other aspects of learning a new

language

that can be advantageous for people all around the world. In

this

essay I will discuss both views. Those who support studying for the only reason of travelling and working overseas argue that

this

is essential to communicate in all practical aspects of life and it is

also

required to apply for a job.

For instance

, a French physician living and working in England has to know English to communicate not only with local patients and nurses, but

also

to rent an apartment and to buy food at the grocery store.

Furthermore

, it is said, that there are not other reasons to learn languages as,

for instance

, if

this

doctor did not live out of France he would not have the need to study

further

languages than French. In spite of

this

,

other

any of various alternatives; some other

another

reason for learning a new

language

is to keep up with the advances in our professions and grow in our careers.

For example

, a great amount of medical guidelines, scientific research articles and newspapers are written in a different

language

than ours. Another reason is to make new friends online.

For example

, there are some particular social media platforms which are only in

English so

Accept comma addition

English, so

whoever wants to connect through them has to understand

this

well. In conclusion, whereas the two main reasons to learn a foreign

language

are working and visiting abroad, I believe it is

also

needed to keep up-to-date at work and to make new relationship through the internet.

Thus

, languages should be taught in every school, university and in job offices as part of the regular program to improve people's professional and social skills.
