Why learning foreign languages is so important

There was a time when just about the ability to read, write and comprehend in one’s own mother tongue was considered a great achievement. A century down the line, the knowledge of a foreign language gives you an edge over others who have already achieved the last century’s qualification. And, Bingo! You are definitely the smart one if you can speak and understand more than two languages. So, why are foreign languages so important?
We live in a globalized world and we are as easily connected to people across the world as can be at any time to date. So, it makes good sense that we are in a position to interact with these people from across the world. Here’s a look at the reasons why foreign language learning is becoming increasingly important in today’s times:
I’ll be biased in pointing out the important reasons based on my priorities. You can choose to meddle with it as per yours.

Cognitive benefits

It is a proven thing that a person who can learn and interact in more than one language has better cognitive functions than the ones who can just use a single language. It is said that learning a new language at any age helps improve one’s cognitive functions too! So just to keep that brain functioning and doing well throughout your life, why not pick up a new language dictionary and get started?

Better Job opportunities

Consider this – you can speak a foreign language and your company is looking for someone to be sent to the country where the language is spoken by the natives then who do you think will have a better chance to be picked up for the job? In this continuously interacting and intermingling generation, companies are going all out to send employees on exchange programs to other countries, there are opportunities opening up in foreign countries where you can directly apply and can be picked up to work there and MNCs from different countries come for campus selections in different countries to pick their set of workers. In all these scenarios, a person who can speak and understand a native language of that country will have an edge over others. Thus, your chances of getting hired in such situations is very good.

Easier travel

You travel more conveniently if you know and can speak the local language of the country that you are visiting on any purpose. You will not have a problem explaining your requirements to the taxi driver, at your hotel or a restaurant. It is always good to learn and understand at least the basic terminologies and conversational techniques when you are visiting a country where most people do not speak either your mother tongue or English.

You develop a whole new perspective

Till the time you do not understand the language of a country, you cannot hear, understand and comprehend their tradition, culture and history. Knowing their language helps you do exactly that. Once you understand their language, you can read their texts and scriptures, you can talk to the locals there and can gain an entirely new perspective of their lives and every aspect of living. Learning a culture through translated texts and audio-video means is very different from being able to read and learn through original and first-hand exposure. This way you can build a new perspective towards their culture in entirety.

Show yourself as the sassy one

Besides, foreign languages also provide the ease of interaction with people from another region which is an asset in its own way!

A few months back, I had enrolled for live video training sessions with language experts with a reputed and trustworthy source of education or language-learning. There, I got a chance to communicate with language experts during each session, get my innumerable doubts and queries cleared, and my questions answered to the point of satisfaction. I am absolutely satisfied with the way they taught me to speak in English. You see, today, I am writing this blog completely in English, without using even a single word or phrase from another language.
