some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign countries. 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.
While some individuals are of the opinion that travelling to other communities and better job opportunities in foreign nations are the only reason that
people
tend to be multilingual, others believe that there are others factors which may be motivated people
to learn languages
besides
their mother tongue. I agree with the second
opinion.
Learning foreign languages
gives us a hand to have a better travelling to foreign countries
. People
need to be familiar with the language of the residents of the host country. For example
, if want to visit other countries
learning by knowing the basic conversations in local language we will better able to do our ordinary activities such
as shopping. Moreover
, as far as business is concerned, speaking the language of other society gives international businessmen a hand to interact with their colleagues in other community. It decreases misunderstanding and improves the quality of our work.
Although
I agree with the argument above, from my perspective, there are other reasons as well. Some languages
are very popular and there are a large number of people
who are able to speak these languages
. As a result
, learning these languages
may contribute to having access to a variety of data and articles from other nations and may improve our creativity and critical thinking. Furthermore
, multilingual people
play an important role in promoting their society`s tourist economy .They are more able to make a connection with tourists and talk about their countries
attractions which are more satisfying for visitors.
In conclusion, from my, perspective having more enjoyable trips and finding a better job in other countries
and other reasons which are explained in the second
paragraph seems to be the reasons that individuals try to learn other languages
