Is English the only foreing language worth learning? Despite the fact of English is became one of the most important language to communicate all around the World, I strongly disagree with the statement that English is the "only" foreign language worth learning. Firstly, they are other important languages, such Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, German or French, which are spoken for millions of people. Secondly, if you are really interested in knowing the real essence of a foreign culture, you have to learn its language. Finally, although Englis is became the language of business, and traveling in our modern life, in my opinion life is much more that make only money,and Culture makes us wealthier and more tolerant. In conclusion, I believe that although they are a lot of reason for learning English, we should never do huge mistake to reject the other languages, which are spoken for millions of inhabitants, and think they are less important than English.

Great job, Arantza. My only "serious" question is about the last clause in the last paragraph, which is a little confusing. Do you mean that the speakers of languages besides English regard their native languages as less important? Or that English speakers view those other languages as less important?

I'd prefer to master a global language rather than being a "jack of all"

muy bien. bien escribio. tambien creo que personas se necesita aprender por lo menos una idioma que no es nativo. soy de acuerdo que es muy importante para pensar como la cultura lo que se tratando aprender. la idioma lo que mas util probablemente es ingles simplemente porque hay que lo mas hablantes. pero, todas las idiomas son importante porque nos permitan para pensar en maneras diferentes. idioma es musica.
