Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language in 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 views and give your own opinion.

These days, a lot of people say that becoming a multilingual is only beneficial if you want to work or

study

in a foreign country, but others believe that there are more reasons to learn a new

language

. I agree with the

second

statement, and will discuss both view points. Learning a

language

is crucial if people want to

study

or work in other countries. If people want to get a job at a company or

study

in a university, which is located in a different part of the

world

, they must learn the primary

language

of that business or school. Without it, their chances of getting a job or an admission are close to zero.

Therefore

, companies,

such

as the British Council and IDP were created to test peoples knowledge of English, and those who pass get permission to live, work, and

study

in the English speaking countries.

In addition

, Learning a new

language

can help us maintain a

world

peace. In today's

world

, there are a lot of cultural misunderstandings happing in every part of the

world

, which sometimes lead to not only racist remarks but

also

a war. By grasping a new tongue, people will understand each other on a new level, which could, potentially, stop all the wars.

For instance

, western countries used to make fun of Indians for their beliefs;

however

, after learning their

language

, they understood why they had

such

assumptions. In conclusion, I disagree that learning languages benefit only our personal and professional lives. I believe, as discussed in the 3rd paragraph, it has the power to make the

world

a better place to live in.
