Question

i want to know difference between these two sentences
The Reason to learn a foreign language 
The Reason of learning a foreign language

Are these two sentences exactly the same?
Or are there any awkward ones?

Answer

Hi there,
We usually use the word reason with "for" or "to".
It is sometimes followed by "of" in the plural form. For example, the bridge is closed for reasons of safety. (From LDOCE6)
There are also other prepositions like "behind" that can come after the word.

Answer

The first sentence makes sense with something added. For example: The reason to learn a foreign language is to be happy. The second sentence doesn’t make sense.
