Speaking a foreign language

What are the main benefits or advantages of speaking a foreign language? Explain.

To comment this issue, I could begin by saying that if you want to see the world through different eyes, to visit countries, as they really are, we can should learn other languages. In this text I want to expose the main advantages of speaking a second, a third or any other language.

Firstly we can say that there are many reasons to learn a foreign language, like to travel, to do business, or when we talk about the chances, to get an employment. If you want to travel because you’re interested in other cultures, you’ll travel more comfortably if you know the language. Or if you want to study a university degree, when you’re in the last years maybe you’ve the opportunity to travel and is an opportunity that we cannot miss. And finally, if you speak foreign languages and you’re waiting to get a job, you will put ahead of the rest who cannot speak another language.

We should be aware of the importance to know other languages to improve our personal culture and life.
