As computers translate quickly and easily , learning a foreign language is unnecessary. Discuss both the views and give your opinion ?

It is argued that since the advancement in technology makes translating simple, it is of no use for

one

to learn a

language

of another land. I disagree with

this

because at certain times these devices can be unreliable to depend on.

One

plus point of using a computer as a means of learning a foreign tongue is that

one

can do it without much effort.

Instead

of memorising and mastering words of the alphabet for the

language

which a person is learning,

computers

can store that information effectively and accurately. Take,

for example

, a

language

application called John's

language

that has more than 2000 words of the German

language

.

This

application enables its owner to translate any German word into his mother tongue without the need to memorise.

Hence

,

computers

do make life easy when it comes to learning. Yet, despite that being the case, I believe it is still not a reliable item. The disadvantage with using a computer for something as vital as

language

is that it can not be relied on. To put

this

in perspective, all the programmes that a computer uses to translate a

language

is fed into it by humans who are prone to errors.

For instance

, in a survey conducted on the effectiveness of

computers

as a

language

guide, it was determined that due to the fact that it is man-made, it usually broke down and made countless mistakes.

Therefore

, in order to avoid any problems, it is just necessary for

one

to learn a foreign

language

instead

. By way of conclusion, I reaffirm my statement that even though

computers

may offer the easiest way when it comes to translating, they tend to make too many errors

thus

proving unreliable. Henceforth, it is always a great idea for a person to learn a new tongue.
