Although there is a lot of software available today that can translate from one language to another, it is still necessary for people to learn a foreign language. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Despite the availability of a great deal of

language

translation

software, foreign

language

learning is still necessary. I completely agree with

this

statement because

people

tend not to interact with each other

further

when using a

translation

tool.

Besides

, they can have higher chances to succeed in life if they speak another

language

.

Translation

software discourages

further

interaction.

For example

, if a tourist asks a local for directions by using a

translation

tool, the local would probably say nothing more than the directions since most

people

do not like communicating with a machine.

By contrast

, tourists who are able to speak the local

language

show that they respect and love the local culture. Locals in turn would extend their hospitality, asking about where they are from or even showing them around.

In addition

, speaking a

second

language

increases a person’s chances of success in life. The Internet has made the world unbounded.

This

allows a person to easily make their voices heard by

people

in another country as long as they share a common

language

. Take

for example

the famous Norwegian YouTuber Nora Alex. His Channel wouldn’t have reached more than one million subscribers if he weren’t able to speak English well and just used

translation

software to add English captions to his videos. In conclusion, even though there are many

translation

tools available, learning another

language

is still necessary. For one thing, these tools tend to put

people

off

further

interaction, and for another those who speak a

second

language

can gain the advantage of reaching more

people

and

thus

raise the odds of success in life.
