Is learning to speak a foreign language as important these days as it was in the past? I think that it will always be important to learn a new language. Learning a new language is very useful to be able to know other's country's customs and life styles. It also makes you able to understand new things. And I think that it changes a little the way we see the world. You can also make new friends. Nowadays there are a lot of different translators machines, but they usually make mistakes, so I think that is better to learn a language, and not to depend on translators. I like to learn new words in English. I find it really interesting and fun. Maybe in the past people believed that learning a new language was important because there weren't any translators machines. And the only way to communicate with foreign was learning the language. In my opinion is as important now as it was in the past.
