Nowadays it's very important to know at least one foreign language. It'll help us not only at studies or in job, but also in everyday living. I'd like to present some of reasons to learn language of other nations.
To develop confidence
Learning a foreign language is satifying experience and a serious confidence booster. You’ll have to overcome some of your fears and doubts, learn more about yourself, and meet new people. It'd be also easier for you to visit other countries, you'd vave an opportunity to test yourself.
Increase your brain power
A psychologist at York University in Toronto, Ellen Bialystok, has found that students who study foreign languages obtain better results on tests than their monolingual peers, especially in the categories of math, reading, and vocabulary. Learning other languages alter grey matter - the area of the brain which processes information – in the same way exercise builds muscles.
Study or live abroad
As we know, many people prefer study or live in other countries, thats why it's important to know foreign languages. The same in a case of Erasmus. Unfortunatelly it's widely known that there are petter opportunities to find a job f.ex. in England than in Poland...
Discover new culture
Learning languages we also learn about the culture, literature, history etc. And sometimes we can learn really interesting facts ;)
Meet new people
I think everyone has at least one friend who doesn't speak polish, so it's a good reason to have an ability to comunicate with him/her in his/her language. It's a good oportunity for us to improve our skills, don't you think?
There many other reasons. And why do you learn foreign languages?
Every reason is a good reason. The crucial thing is to keep the motivation high, not to get discouraged and to think of ways to reward yourself for every success, even a small one. :)
