Five Good Reasons to Learn a Foreign Language
        Still don't understand why learning a foreign language is a good idea? Read the following and you will get the idea!
1.Improve your native language 
        I know this might not make sense at first but hear me out .As a person who speaks only one language, you have no basis for comparison; all  you know  is your  native language. In different languages the same idea is often expressed in different ways  Knowing another language gives you a great measuring stick.  It will help you better understand tenses,  prepositions and all the other parts of speech we normally take for granted . You will find yourself speaking and writing more  precise and creative sentences.  There is a reason why most great writers and poets are students of many languages.
2.Enhance your experience of travel .
      Traveling is one of the great joys of life and also one of the most expensive.  Why not get the most  out of it? If you don't know the language of the places you visit, you  are completely excluded from  the culture. The locals shun you  and you are relegated to sightseeing and taking cheesy photos.  Knowing even a few phrases of the language will make a huge difference.n You  will meet many more people and find it much easier to get around.  People are much more receptive if you make an effort to speak their language. This can turn a frustrating experience into the trip of a lifetime.

3.Languages are beautiful 
     Language is what makes us human. It is the medium we use to share our  thoughts with   the rest of the world. Can you imagine thought  without language? Great language also has a wonderful musical quality.Learning a new language is like learning a new  way to think and a new way to sing. I am  often stuck by new phrases that are profoundly meaningful and melodic.At those moments Ifeel grateful to be alive. Don't sell yourself short by stubbornly  ignoring every language but one.

4.Join the global community
   Believe it or not, the maiority of the world does not speak our mother tongue. We are so isolated that we hardly realize this. The truth is that new thoughts and ideas are appearing everywhere and they are not being immediately translated. The world is getting smaller and we are coming  into  contact with  more non-Chinese   speakers  all the time . Gain an advantage for  yourself in business and personal relationships  by being able to communicate with people in their language. This will set you apart and gain you immediate respect and credibility.
Last but not least：

5.It's  just plain cool
      I'm  not saying you should learn a few corny French pick-up lines  and go saying them to everyone you meet, but knowing a foreign tongue and applying  it tastefully is undeniably attractive .  It implies education, good taste  and refinement， and it will certainly make you stand out against the competition. Imagine saying a beautiful  phrase with perfect pronunciation to a lovely coed. You will immediately have her attention；  she will be dying to know what it means.  l know this from experience.
