Learning foreign languages is believed by some people to be a waste of time and money. Others, however, have a different point of view.
Personally, I think that studying languages of other countries is beneficial. Firstly, nowadays almost all promising jobs, such as in the IT sphere, require speaking even more than two different languages, so learning foreign languages is a key to getting a well-paid job. Secondly, speaking fluently non-native languages can help one immerse in cultures of many countries by establishing a contact with local residents, which definitely broadens a person’s mind.
However, there are people who claim that studying a language of another country is a waste of time and financial resources.
They say that thanks to different devices which can help us translate something from one language into another one thus there is no point in spending our time and money on learning languages.
I disagree with above-mentioned opinion. Not all electronic interpreters can translate properly. The usage such gadgets leads to the high risk of misunderstanding between foreigners. Moreover, there are very rare languages which electronic translators do not include, while people who know these languages are always in demand.
In conclusion, despite different opinions, I believe that learning foreign languages is advantageous.
