Is learning to speak a foreign language as important these days as it was in the past? Write an essay giving your opinion.

In the past, learning a

second

language

was important in the individual's everyday life.

However

, I think that nowadays it is more crucial to know a foreign

language

than it was in the

last

years. On the one hand, a

while

back , knowing a

second

language

was really helpful.

This

skill helped people to speak with individuals from other countries , to make international deals, and

also

to sell goods.

For example

, a German man who knew Romanian could make a deal with the Romanian society only because he knew the

language

.

Moreover

, back

then

, individuals who knew more than one

language

were considered intelligent and from a high social class.

On the other hand

, these days it is more important to know a foreign

language

. Nowadays , people can not travel or buy things from the internet without knowing a

second

language

. By only knowing their native tongue , it is really hard to visit other countries because there are small chances that those from there will understand your

language

.

For example

, for a girl who speaks only Romanian, it will be very hard to travel and get

along with

the community from Ukraine, because she will not be able to obtain what she wants.

Furthermore

, when the population buy things from the internet, the description of the product is usually in English so, without knowing

this

second

language

it will be hard for them to purchase the right product. In conclusion, I believe that even though a

while

back it was useful for people to know another

language

besides

their native one, these days it is more crucial, not only because society travels more ,but

also

because the description of products is written in a foreign tongue.
