No matter where you go around the world, you could come across countries who don’t speak English.Even knowing some basic words can help break the ice when you`re in a foreign country. Moreover, it`s not the same as being able to make an conversation, most people appreciate when you`re trying to speak their language, even if you have to switch back to English right away . Let me convince you the reasons to start studying another language now

Languages give you the opportunities to travel, meet new people and explore different cultures.

1. Impress people around you

Language has that strange power over people. The fact is, people love it when they find out you can speak another language. In their eyes, you suddenly become 100% more interesting. If you’ve ever been at a party where someone sat down at the piano or picked up a guitar and started playing beautifully, you’ll know what I’m talking about. People just gather around. We love being surprised by hidden talents.

learning a foreign language is bound to impress more than a few people around you. You will likely get plenty of compliments on your unique skill, and a few curious glances from passersby here and then.

Of course, impressing people should not be the reason why you choose to learn a foreign language , but who doesn’t want to be more interesting?

2. Develop confidence

You’re about to teach yourself to believe, “yes, I can.” It’ll become your new personal mantra.

Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered, and Learning a foreign language is an incredibly rewarding experience and a serious confidence booster It increases your self-confidence.

In order to master a new language, conversations with native and fluent speakers are essential.You’ll get to overcome some of your fears and doubts, learn more about yourself, meet new people, and perhaps travel to places you would’ve never dared to visit before. Plus, the constant positive feedback from native speakers and their encouragement is always a motivation and ego booster

3. Completely transform your travel experience

Travel is not just about taking pretty pictures and posting them on Facebook or Instagram, or spending a week in a 5-star all-inclusive resort.

 Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein is credited with saying that “the limits of your language are the limits of your world,” and he was right . Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation destination possibilities. Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country. Fluency isn’t required.Best of all, it will enrich your life by offering you a deeper understanding of the culture and history of the people you’ll encounter. Also, getting to a comfortable speaking level in a foreign language is a great motivator to get you out there and practicing your new language in a new country.

4. Study or live overseas

If you feel like you’re in for some change and you’re looking for some excitement and adventure in your life, a foreign language might just be the door that’s waiting to be opened. Why not leave for a few years and study inSouth East Asia? Or perhaps find your dream job in Germany? Whatever it is that you want, knowing a second language will suddenly shrink the world and bring you opportunities of a lifetime.

5. Become more open-minded

Learning a foreign language and getting soaked into an entirely new culture and world view is the surest way to become an open-minded, understanding individual, and that is, I would argue, absolutely priceless. Once you are aware of the fact that we are all cultural beings, products of our own environments, and that you recognize the cultural base for your own attitudes and behavior, you are ready to consider others in a more favorable light. Seeing the world from a different perspective, and understanding where you and others come from, is a fantastic, eye-opening experience.

6. Discover a new culture

Music, movies, food, literature, poetry, theatre, fine arts: the list of fabulous things that culture brings to our lives is endless. You might have heard that language and culture are two sides of the same coin: I would tend to agree with this.

7. Meet new people and develop friendships

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, meeting new and interesting people and developing life-long friendships are certainly objectives well worth aspiring for, and learning another language is a sure way to expedite that process. Plus, learning a language is FUN!

 

Everybody has different reasons for learning a language . But by now, I hope I can convince you the amazing benefits that knowing another language can bring. Yes, it’s not easy and may taking time and effort. But the investment is well worth it.
