Firstly, learning a foreign language helped us to make connections with people overseas ,gave us the chance to consider foreign cultures against our own values and traditions and gave a deeper respect for our multi-faceted world.
Secondly, it opens up a world of job opportunities It’s no secret that learning a foreign language can improve our employment prospects. More companies than ever are doing business in several—often dozens of—countries around the world, but they can’t do it without hiring people who have a grasp on at least one foreign language. Even in small, local companies, chances are that the ability to speak a second language will set us apart from other applicants. And in an increasingly competitive job market, why not give yourself every possible edge?
Thirdly, information and capital flowing more freely than ever, the ability to think critically across different societies, to communicate in different languages and to form connections with a variety of people internationally is becoming more important than ever.
Finally, it helps us better understand our own language and culture .Learning a new foreign language can actually pull a sort of reverse psychology on us and provide we with a better understanding of our own native tongue and culture. This is one of the most unexpected advantages of learning a foreign language.
