5 Reasons to learn a new language

Here is a few reason why you need to learn a new language.

1. A wide range of job opportunities for you.

Learning a new language makes your CV most likely more interesting for recruiters. If you can speak more than one language, you could have higher possibilities to reach job opportunities than people who speak only one.

2. Speaking another language is beneficial

Speaking only one language narrows your mind and close hermetically your intelligence.  That’s why you should learn a new language to get a wider view of different things and it’s also a beneficial thing

3. It will boost your self-confidence

Sometimes speaking a language which is not your native language makes you feel uncomfortable because of grammar mistakes, incorrect pronunciation and so on.

But don’t be afraid,  you will get over the fear and one day it will boost your confidence and ability to negotiate.

4. The language learning experience changes how you think

This part is the most important part of language learning as a way of changing perspective. Not because the new language will allow you to have different thoughts, or because it will give you access to people whose thoughts differ from yours, but because it will help you understand yourself in a way that wasn’t possible before: how you view other people, how you view communication.

5. Studying abroad

If you plan to go to study at a foreign university, college or school, you’ll need a good knowledge of the local language. Otherwise, your institution will probably provide preparatory courses to improve your language skills and continuing support throughout your main course.

While you are there,  you might be interested in the literature, films, TV programs, music or some other aspect of the culture of people who speak a particular language and you might want to learn their language in order to gain a better understanding of their culture.
