People learn another language for a variety of reasons. They may plan to travel to the country or their community may be multi-lingual or they may wish to do business in another country. Why should you learn another language?
In many countries, maybe even your own country, there are large communities of that speak languages other than the native languages. - More than 100 million people in 38 countries speak German.
- Roughly 200 million people around the world speak French.
- Italian is spoken by approximately 70 million people.
- An estimated 400 million people speak Spanish.
That's a lot of reasons to learn another language. I'm giving you only four reasons to learn another language.
1. For Business Learning another language will help you to improve your prospects of doing business in other countries. It may be true that in many of these countries you could speak English and get by with it, by speaking their language you will have the advantage of understanding what is said in its original context. Translators normally summarise what is said and will very seldom carry over what was truly said. By understanding the other language you have an additional advantage. Keep in mind that your counterpart will probably be able to understand English.
2. For Travel In addition to the countries where the other language is the native language, in many countries around the world French, Spanish or German may be the second language. Travelling to those countries you will find it useful to be able to communicate in their language, even on a basic level.
3. For Tourism If you are seeking to work in the tourist industry speaking another language as a decided advantage. Whether you are planning to work in another country, or planning to work with the millions of foreign tourists who travel around the world every year, speaking another language will benefit you.
4. For Culture The countries of the world have a rich cultural heritage and to really understand these countries, from exploring their cities and towns with a centuries-old history to enjoying their social life speaking the local language give you an inside view of many aspects of their culture.
