What Are The Reasons To Learn A Second Language?
I believe that most schools these days offer their students an opportunity to learn a foreign language. You might have learnt it yourself. I had English and French in school. While I'm fluent in English, I could never grasp French. I was good at it at the time but I don't remember a thing any more. However, as I love learning languages, I also studied Spanish and I'm learning Welsh now.
But Why Do We Need to Speak Another Language?
Isn't it enough for us to speak our own, mother tongue? For me, it wasn't. Polish isn't a widely spoken language. I wouldn't be able to communicate in Polish if England, Germany, France or anywhere in the world to be exact. So, I had to learn a more universal language. English was an easy choice. It is spoken almost everywhere in the world, which makes communication and travel so much easier.
What Are Other Reasons To Learn A Second Language?
Getting A Better Job
In Poland English is a must in most of the office jobs. Almost all employers require their candidate to speak at least some English. It is useful when you need to speak to a customer from a different country. So, when you speak English or any other language you have more chances of getting a better job.
Your Brain Works Better
According to the information on valuewalk.com "in a 2012 study, researchers from Sweden's Lund University found that studying another language increases the function of the brain's cerebral cortes, which controls reasoning, planning, memory and visual processing." Which simply means that the more you study, the better your brain will work and you will be able to learn quicket and have better memory.
Getting To Know New People
These days with the internet, you can meet people from all over the world. But you need to speak either their language or other universal one. English is most commonly used across all the social media. So, the better you speak it, the easier it will be for you to learn about new cultures and traditions. You will also meet new friends who you can visit or just chat with.Travelling Gets Easier
When you speak a second language, especially the language of the country you're going to, it will make your life so much easier and more fun. Local people will really apprecaite you trying to speak their language, so even if it's just a few phrases, I would recommend learning them before you travel. And of course, English is generally spoken everywhere in the world, so knowing it, will open the doors to many interesting experiences.
