Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
There is an ongoing controversy over whether to use a foreign language for study or work aboard is the only purpose for studying it. Some people may not think that there is the objective other than to use it in the different country. However, in my opinion, I believe that learning new language can be caused by several reasons such as entertainment and part-time job.
First, other language helps people enjoy the entertainments from other countries, such as computer games from and movies from Japan or India. People will not be completely enjoyed, if they do not understand the language used in those media. Because some of computer games and movies have no translated versions, learning the new language is needed for someone who want to make their leisure time more fun. For example, my friend, who obsesses with movies so much, want to fully comprehend his favorite Japanese movie, so that he study Japanese by himself from the internet. Now he can use Japanese well, and translate Japanese movie for others as a hobby, making him so happy that he can do what he likes for others.
Therefore, it’s not true that using it aboard is the only objective of studying other language.
Second, a foreign language can use as a part-time job that creates more income for people. Nowadays, technology makes it easy to create money from anywhere in the world, and being a translator or a language teacher online takes not much time. Mobile application named “iTalki”, the platform that connects language teacher with someone to need to learn it, is an example of this career. There are massive of languages available in that mobile application, and tons of teachers, who can teach from even their bedroom. Clearly, learning language can create a job, even though that one doesn’t live apart from the hometown.
In conclusion, there are many reasons to study new languages and I am strongly convinced that using those languages aboard is not the only reason of knowing them.
