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?

#software #language #people
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.
