Is it worthwhile to learn Spanish?
Before we delve deeper into whether it’s worthwhile to learn Spanish let’s find out is it actually worth to learn a new language at all!
No matter which part of the world you are in, you won’t find many people telling you, that language learning is easy, because it truly is not! And yet it’s worth all the pain! By selectively focusing on the things that are important you can sail through the stress and anxiety, language learning brings with itself, and embark on your path to fluency. If it’s not going to be easy – it doesn’t have to be a nightmare either! It may be a well-conceived notion that, in an advanced world such as ours, French, Spanish, English, Mandarin, etc – are the be-all-end-all of linguistic necessity. And this may very well be true! It is now more than essential that people consider taking up learning a new language a dire necessity!
One of the most common reasons for language learners to pursue a language is the number of job opportunities it brings along! If it could well mean a pay raise for some, it may mean a promotion for others, or a change of department or even an entirely new job for the rest! More and more employers across the world are beginning to see and appreciate the benefits of having multilingual employees and if you want to get on that bandwagon you’re going to have to push your way past the difficulties, uncertainties and stresses that come with language learning. It’s worth it. Learning a language can make travel easier and more enjoyable if you are able to speak the local lingo. While English is now widely spoken at most tourist destinations in the world, yet saying, ‘most of the world speaks English’, is not true, because it clearly not the case, outside of North America, Northwestern Europe, Australia and New Zealand(though there are other exceptions). Also, a large number of countries in Africa, South America, Asia or Eastern Europe are going to become travellers’ nightmare, without basic knowledge of the local language.
