Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in 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?
It is argued by some that the purpose of learning a new
language
is for travelling to or working in a new country
, while others say that this
is not the main purpose of learning an international language
. I believe that while learning to communicate very effectively can be one
of the other reasons for learning a new language
, the only purpose of learning a foreign language
is to travel
and work
because of the requirement for proof of language
proficiency
.
On the one
hand, one
of the reasons why people
learn a foreign language
is to communicate very effectively. That is
because it will help you to interact and communicate with other people
easily and will allow people
to express their feelings very effectively. For example
, most of the YouTubers in Somalia speak English to speak communicate with other fans around the world. Despite this
, I would argue that the only reason
for learning a new language
is to travel
and work
.
On the other hand
, the number one
reason
why people
learn a new language
is to travel
and work
because of the requirement to prove their language
proficiency
. That is
to say, when a foreigner wants to work
in a foreign country
it is a requirement to speak and write the national language
of that country
to effectively communicate with people
. This
is why foreigners have to prove their language
proficiency
to not encounter any communication barriers. For instance
, there are millions of people
who sit the IELS exam each year to prove their language
proficiency
to travel
or work
in English-speaking countries. For this
reason
, I believe this
is the only reason
why people
learn a foreign language
.
In conclusion, although
learning a foreign language
can help to communicate effectively, I think that the only reason
why people
learn a new language
is to prove their language
proficiency
to work
or travel
to a foreign country
