Why Study Another Language?

  • It’s fun!
  • The study of another language improves our own. Knowing another language will help you better understand tenses, prepositions and all the other parts of speech we normally take for granted.
  • Learning another language is the epitome of ‘thinking outside the box’, because every language ‘thinks’
  • With the world shrinking as a result of improved communications and travel, more and more careers require the ability to speak, read and write other languages. With so many people having similar qualifications, it can be a huge boost to have a foreign language on your résumé.
  • When you learn a second language, you are also learning about a second culture.
  • If you learn a foreign language and take a vacation in a country where that language is spoken, you can have more fun and stress less getting about.
