Currently, the ability to communicate in a foreign
language
 is a valuable asset for
people
 from all walks of life to function effectively in a globalized world. While many choose to study an additional
language
 for occupational and recreational purposes, others do so for different aspirations, which is considered to be the only possible measure.
This
 essay takes both perspectives into consideration in greater depth and expresses my personal point of view to evaluate the validity of each claim. On the one hand, it is without a doubt that some
people
 learn a foreign
language
 solely because of professional and travelling needs in other countries.
This
 is due to the fact that more companies are expanding their business to every corner of the world.
This
 means that employers look for employees who can speak languages other than their mother tongue.
Additionally
, International tourism has been promoted by many governments. So being able to speak multiple languages can help
people
 enjoy life in
this
 respect.
On the other hand
, there are other reasons for learning an alternative
language
.
First
 of all, knowing another
language
 can help enrich cultural understanding as well as literary appreciation.
Second
 of all, a number of non-native English speakers prepare for English proficiency exams for educational purposes.
Last
 but not least, the ability to converse in a non-mother tongue can broaden opportunities to grow various forms of relationship including friendship and multinational marriage. To conclude, while foreign
language
 skills are crucial for business and travel overseas, it is undeniable that other motivations
also
 exist namely cultural understanding, education and relationship. Different

 all valid in their own judgement. No matter what the reasons are, it is indispensable to acquire additional
language
 skills.
