Educationists have always placed an improtance on learning at least one foreign language.Learning another language may affect one's life from various aspects.Is it true?

People always say that different people come from different backgrounds and have their own cultural. Cultural, maybe this the point I think we should learn at least one foreign language. We may not get a chance to communicate a foreigner each day, but we can try to know their cultural by reading books written in foreign languages. In that way, you can find something that really exciting or meaning, in a word, it will benefit a lot.

aside from our language, English language is really vital because it is a universal language.. we can communicate to foreign people, we can relate with them and create a good friendship, business..Not only for foreign people but to the work place as well..Is so easy to apply certain works especially when you aspiring high profiled jobs.

Learning multiple langueages is pretty important because not only does it allow one to communicate with so many more people but it also allwos you to immerse yourself intoanother culture without having too much of a language barrier.

I like foreign languages.I was once interested in all languages,and wished I could have the oppotunity to know as many languages as I can. Somethimes you can consider it as a social science. Now, I find English is realy useful , yes it changed me a lot .
