This
essay agrees with the
second
group mentioned, those who think that
work
and
travel
are not the only
reasons
. There is a reality, an important part of society is willing to learn a

tongue
, only if is needed to
work
or
travel
abroad. Communities from countries
such
as the U.S. where
people

, are not interested in learning other languages, as they do not have the need.
This
is because these countries speak the international
language
for working and travelling, English.
For instance
, a recent research concluded that only 15% of the American
people

language
, meanwhile, in Europe, most

speak at least two or even three idioms. From another point of view, there are multiple
people
who think that the
reasons
mentioned above are not the only ones to learn a

language
.
This
essay agrees with
this
group of
people
. The aim of learning a new
tongue
depends on the person who is learning, and the purpose could be more than
work
or
travel
abroad.
For example
, there are multiple cultures
such
us, Valencia in Spain, where the young children learn "Valenciano" at school, and the
reasons
are mainly cultural.
To conclude
,
this
essay believes that the
reasons
to learn a
language
are personal, and depend on the person who is learning.
