Nowadays learning foreign languages is very popular. It is a hobby for millions of people who want to be successful and happy. However, is learning languages worth spending so much time and effort on?

As for me, I think learning languages has many advantages. To begin with, it helps travel around the world and communicate with people from different nations. Furthermore, the people who speak more than one language are likely to get a higher-paid job than those who do not have foreign language skills. Finally, learning languages improves one’s memory and broaden mind.

On the other hand, some people think that learning foreign languages is a waste of time and money. In their mind, foreign language skills are not necessary either in travelling abroad or in getting a good job.

I cannot agree with these people. Knowing at least one foreign language is a must for everybody who wants to make a good career and gain success because technological advances such as the Internet, cellular phones, computers improved the way different countries cooperate and conduct business.

To sum up, I would say that learning foreign languages is very important. Not only is it a great way to spend time and relax, but it also can easily help become successful and make a good career.
