Language is one of the most important ways of communication. Being monolingual or even bilingual is not bad but why stop with just one or two languages when you can learn more? Check out the various reasons why you must learn foreign languages:
1. English Is Not The Most Commonly Spoken Language
You cannot just know English and assume that it’s fine not to know any other language. English is not the most commonly spoken language. Hence you need to know other languages in order to communicate with people from all over the world. Nowadays, thanks to online classes and the internet, you can learn anything from anywhere.
English ranks third in the list of widely spoken languages in the World. Mandarin is on top, followed by Spanish. In every language, grammar is the most important. Spanish is a grammatically inflected language. Spanish Grammar is not as difficult as it may sound. Learning a new language at your convenience will be an added advantage for an individual.

5. Allows You To Appreciate International Art
If you know a foreign language, you can learn to appreciate the beauty of that language’s poems, movies, songs, and more and not just stay confined to a limited number of languages.
