Why Learn Foreign Languages

If you ask people whether they need a foreign language, most of them will answer negatively. Many people nowadays live with the feeling that knowledge of another language isn’t important. But I believe that if you really want to know whether or not to learn a foreign language, you should go to those who know at least one language, besides their mother tongue. Why? Because it is strange to ask about the benefits and values of a foreign language from someone who doesn't know it and therefore not able to assess the benefits that the person gains through such knowledge. I know French at a sufficient level, and it allows me to talk freely, to read essay writing service reviews, to perceive live speech. Now I'm learning the second language - German. I would like to tell people the advantages of learning languages.  

Different picture of the world

We know from childhood that each language has its own characteristics, but not everyone knows how much language can change your outlook. The fact is that every language reflects the whole history of the people speaking it. In the structure of language is incorporated that way of thinking, which is peculiar to this people. Learning another language, you immerse in another world, you gain the opportunity to perceive the world from a different point of view. It doesn't happen immediately, but with the improvement of skills and knowledge of a foreign language, you start to get "stereo perception" of the world. Imagine your whole life you have listened to audio recorded in mono, and suddenly you bring a radio with stereo sound. You will notice the difference immediately. Why do we need another picture of the world? We can take the best from another culture and add it into your culture. The more you use another language to communicate, the more you get used to a different way of forming thoughts. In fact, your success in learning a foreign language largely depends on how easily you can learn the way to design thoughts in this language. If you want to develop more business skills, develop the ability to make decisions and take responsibility, the knowledge of English will help you with this.
