Some people say that learning more than one foreign language is a waste of time.
Some people say that learning more than one foreign language is a waste of time. But I strongly disagree. I absolutely believe that learning languages is never a waste of time. These are some reasons for it.
First of all, learning foreign language is always good and useful for every person. It makes our brain stronger, also it improves our memory skills. So, the more you learn, the smarter you become.
Secondly, if you want to understand people from other countries, one of the best ways is learning languages they speak. During my life I have learned two different languages: German and English. It was not only difficult, but also very interesting. I knew a lot about culture and traditions of the German and the English. I read about history of these countries, their outstanding people. I think that is never can be called a waste of time. It even changed the way of my mind thinking. I started thinking more creatively and widely.
The only reason I could imagine why some people may call learning more than one languages a waste of time is they don’t need any necessaries in other languages, except for English. Of course, English is an international language, which is used almost everywhere, but I still don’t understand people who don’t want to know more than one language, because in my opinion they refuse from such a treasure and do it willingly. I understand that people sometimes don’t have enough time, because of families and work duties, but when they call learning languages a waste of time, I think it’s ridiculous.
At the end I’d like to say, that learning more than one foreign language improves your educational skills, helps you in your career path, grow up your self-esteem, so how it can be just a waste of time? I think it’s impossible.
