The technology generates language translation software, decreasing the importance of learning more languages. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
Language
barrier has long been seen as the biggest friction for people
who come from different countries to communicate with each other and exchange ideas. The technology nowadays is able to allow language
translation
in real-time, decreasing the need to be multi-languagers. In my point of view, although
learning various languages
will be helpful for people
to learn more about cultures, customs, and thought patterns of different areas, the translation
software does lower the importance of learning more languages
.
To begin
with, it is undeniable that learning foreign languages
is beneficial to one's mind and improves the further
growth of nerve cells and forms more complicated as well as
strong connections . Lots of surveys indicated that speaking multilanguage makes nerve cells in the human brain more active and can think broader than those who only speak mono language
. However
, in the real world, there are few languages
predominant (especially English) and that creates a problem: we know how to interact with nations from UK or US, but in many Asian areas, although
we live closer, we can just communicate with each other by poor English speaking skills.
And now, through translation
machines or apps, chatting with a wide range of people
all around the world seems not as difficult as before. The functions of voice recognition or typing in words are so convenient even if a man doesn't have any related specialist knowledge can easily know what exactly other people
say, which decreases the language
barrier effectively and leads to more practical discussions. It also
tackles a serious issue to some degree, that is
learning a foreign language
could be extremely expensive and thus
limit available budget. Funding can be used to do more far-reaching studies and tests.
To sum up
, with a phone or other portable device downloading translation
apps, humans nowadays are allowed to talk to people
from different nations. Hence
, the importance of learning more languages
decreases.Submitted by ba06109071 on
