Computers today can quickly and accurately translate languages, therefore, it is a waste of time to learn a foreign language. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In the modern world, many devices can without delay and mistakes translate from one to another
language
, thus
, learning of foreign language
would be a wasting of time. I strongly disagree with this
statement because people not only develop their cognitive skills but also
experience another culture
deeply through learning its mother tongue.
To begin
, people improve their brain function when learning a foreign language
. It is common knowledge that if an individual acquires knowledge about something new as another language
structure, the brain activity is increasing, hence
, it helps his brain develops, work better, and memorise more information. For example
, recent research shows two groups of French people; one of them was given a task to learn a foreign speech, whereas another used translator. After few months, in comparison with the second
group, people who have learned a new language
showed better performance of their cognitive skills, moreover
, their result in memorising images was up to 20% higher.
Another evidence is that learning a language
helps get to know a country culture
. The first
distinguishing attribute one country from another it is its mother-tongue. When people learn about a country they have to know not only a national flag, a map and its natural heritage but also
the language
is spoken in this
state. To illustrate, many people say that when they went abroad usually use translator, however
, if they would have started to learn a local dialect, the spirit of nation and understanding of culture
, in general, was better.
In conclusion, during the age of modern devices, it seems that learning of foreign language
is a waste of time, due to beneficial technologies that can fast and quite correct translate the information. In my firm conviction, I take the view that despite cutting edge technologies, mankind ought to develop themselves and learn about another culture
through the learning of a new language
