Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or working a foreign country. 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.

Learning a foreign language is commonly done nowadays. Some people claim that the only reason behind

this

phenomenon is travelling or working abroad,

while

others envision that there are other reasons behind it.

This

essay will discuss in the following paragraphs both views

as well as

why I personally think that gaining knowledge about different languages is driven by multiple factors.

travelling and working overseas. Many people face hardships

while

visiting foreign countries,

such

as racism or difficulties

while

communicating with others.

That is

the reason why it is crucial to have at least minimal education about the spoken dialect of the country visited. To illustrate

this

, learning Italian has made my recent experience in Italy much easier than when I visited it in the past.

Thus

, it is beneficial to seek linguistic knowledge before attending foreign countries.

However

, the reason listed above is not the only motivation behind learning non-native languages. Studying English, when it's not the mother tongue,

for example

, has many advantages because it's the first international language in the world.

This

latter can be useful in scientific research,

for instance

, as the vast majority of articles are written in English to target the largest number of people.

Furthermore

, enriching our linguistic background facilitates understanding of knowledge available online, which offers us a larger view of the world. To summarize, I personally claim that there are multiple reasons behind studying non-native languages and I think that at least two different ones should be introduced at an early age into children's education because they will benefit from them in the future.
