As it`s good known that for doing something we need a goal for what we do it.
As for learning foreigns languages, there are the following reasons:
1) needing a foreign language for a job, mostly for a job abroad;
2) lovingto travel;
3) in love with a culture, person of a foreign country.
What is the reason for you from the listed above? Or do you have your own?
New language means to learn new culture, which gives you opportunity to look at our nation from another side.
Learning a foreign language really open a lot of possibilities. Besides, it help to keep the brain working well.
To become more in touch with the world. It's like trying foreign food or watching a foreign movie...just a bit harder, but so much more rewarding. I have been learning Spanish. I live in Spain now and apart from the obvious practical aspects of speaking the language I feel like I can learn about people here on a bit of a deeper level.
I'd mention 3 first purposes just came to my mind:
1. Continuing my education abroad
2. Job opportunities
3. Self satisfaction
I'm a few generations removed from Ireland but I take pride in my heritage. I figured that there's no better way to connect with the culture than to learn the language, so, I decided to learn the Irish language and Irish dance.
