[IELTS] Are traveling or working the only reason to learn foreign language? Learning foreign language has been essential due to globalization. Some people may think traveling and working are still the main reason for learning other language, but I think language learning could be considered as a way to boarder social networking. Foreign language learning has become one of major educational program in almost every country in the world. Language is a key access to reach more opportunities like pursuing a job in other country, higher education and so on. Or people may begin to learn foreign language just for traveling. It’s same reason for my mother to learn English, she has participated an online course about chatting with foreign people in 20 minutes per day to keep practicing oral skill. On the other hand, I think the reason for learning language is not only for business or travel but also just for casual reason like social networking or playing game. In my experience, I’ve started to play online game with players from other countries for several years because of the development of Internet. Co-working and communication skill were required in some occasion that made me speak with my teammates from United States, Canada in English. That was a way to learn foreign language in more casual way also remain entertained. To sum up, it has been necessary for people to learn foreign language to engage with the world, to expand your horizons. People may view language skill as a tool to seek opportunities in work or travel mostly, but there are still some different usages probably just for a casual reason.
