I believe that everyone should learn a foreign language because it can help them out in the future. Whether you plan on having a high paying job or you plan on flipping burgers at McDonalds, knowing a second language helps you communicate with others. Say you work at McDonalds, and your customer is from Spain and they have no idea how to speak english, if you know spanish then you are able to get what they need right away. Then from you not knowing spanish and you spend the rest of your day trying to figure out what they need.
I also believe knowing a second language can look good on college applications or job applications. If you know a second language then of course a manager is going to want you to be an employee, so you can bring in more business. Thus, you now have a high paying job that can support you and your wants.
Also, if you plan on traveling abroad, knowing a second language can relly come in handy depending; upon where you go. If you go to Italy, if you know italian you are able to communicate better with the people who live there. Those are the reasons I think you should learn a second language.

In a lot of careers you have to communicate. Being able to communicate in another language for your career can give you a higher salary. Every kind of job can use a foreigh language whether it is a hair stylist to a doctor. You must communicate to know what kind of hair style or what is wrong with the patient. America would not be what it is without the diverse races. This is why Americans should learn foreign languages.
I think students in America should learn a foreign language. It is important because other some countries already learn more languages than us. It is also important for us to embrace cultures of other countries. On your your job aplication speaking two languages can get you more money. Most jobs in government require you to speak two languages. If you are into travel than it is very helpful to know the language of that country.

I believe that learning a foreign language is very important during your high school education because it can take you very far in life. If you learn a foreign language during your youth, it is a very big possibility that it can improve your lifestyle as you get older. It could enhance your travel experiences, as well. You could vacation in another country where you would be able to communicate with it’s residents. Or even get a job, where you would be paid much more if you were bilingual. The ability to speak at least one other language in addition to your dominant one could also make a huge difference in what college you choose to attend. Another reason why learning a foreign language is a good idea is because it also helps improve your English speaking skills. Also, by learning to speak a new language, you have the opportunity to learn more about the countries that speak that language and it’s culture. In conclusion, these are just a few reasons why learning an alternate language is a good idea. There are many more that will hopefully influence others to learn a foreign language in the future.
Learning a foreign language is good in many ways. Foreign languages allow people to understand different cultures and it allows a person to become less narrow minded. Learning another language also allows people from different areas of the world to communicate. When people can communicate there are less misunderstandings, which leads to fewer conflicts. Communication also allows people to do business with each other. By having your business in several places other than just your own country boost not only your economy but also theirs. When both economies are doing well then living conditions in that country also do better. It supplies money for things such as education. Foreign languages also help with alliances. If we are able to effectively communicate with another country then we are able to establish a trustworthy relationship with other countries. The reasons as to why we should learn another language go on and on those are just some of the basic and most important.
I believe that students in America should study a foreign language because it is helpful. It helps when you are getting a job. When you are getting a job knowing one or two languages will get you a pay raise because you will be able to communicate with a broader range of people. Also it is helpful when applying for colleges. Occasionally, colleges will give you a scholarship or accept you because you are bi- or trilingual. Also it is helpful if you were to traveling to the foreign country of the language you are learning. It helps you understand how to communicate back to them your ideas. It is also sometimes respectful to learn another language because you do not want to say something that would normally offend somebody. All in all I think that it is a good idea for students in America.
I think learning and studying a foreign language is very important. In America, there is no national language, meaning people here speak different languages. To communicate with different people you may need to know another language rather than English. In some jobs, it is necessary to know another language. If you have to communicate with a person from another country who only speaks his or her own native language, it will be much easier to fulfill each others needs. When you start to find a job, it could be easier to find one if you are bilingual and the pay could possibly be higher. Learning another language is required to receive your high school diploma. You must take at least two credits to receive your diploma, and some colleges will not accept you if you do not have three credits. If no one around the world could speak or communicate with other countries, the world would not be as advanced as it is today. Countries would not be able to share their discoveries with one another, thus gaining nothing.
Speaking a foreign language is beneficial to a person in several ways. Almost every other culture in the world has knowledge of a language not their own. It is not fair that we should force them to learn our language when we don’t care enough to develop the slightest interest in theirs. People who know other languages are more diverse. They can interact with a wider variety of people, making them better candidates for jobs that require social interactions. Being bilingual allows you to be able to communicate with more people. In this day and age with the barriers between nations getting weaker by the day, America can no longer afford to isolate itself from other cultures. Also it has been shown that people who know more than one language are often more receptive to learning and processing information. This helps people do better in school. With all the advantages to learning a foreign language, why wouldn’t someone want to learn?
Students need to learn foreign languages for several reasons. The main, most obvious reason is for communication purposes. In a business the ability to speak multiple languages is a key aspect in expanding the corporation across the globe. It is a money making opportunity that is passed up by students who deem the foreign languages as unimportant. Also, most countries, whether it be Germany or Indonesia, begin learning English. They learn it mostly because it is a huge part of the world today. Americans should be courteous and learn the languages as well. It would be the humble thing to do: get off the high and might perch, and accept that people, such as the French, dislike compensating for Americans to understand us. Learning foreign languages is also very helpful on a cultural level. In Spanish class, we do not only discuss the language, but the customs, holidays, and ways in which societies function. It would be helpful for people who like to travel and learn about other places. In my opinion, I think learning foreign languages is amusing.

I believe that people should study a foreign launguage because of the opportunities it can open up for them. First off it is a very valuable attribute to have. Many companies use it for various things and you never know when you might be in a situation needing somebody to translate something. Another reason is when in a foreign country miscommunication is common and almost inevetible if you know nothing of the launguage of that country. Knowing their launguage can help you communicate and work with the people there. Most people do not believe learning a launguage can get them anywhere but there are an endless list of jobs with good pay that can use or even require the knowledge of a foriegn launguage. Contrary to popular belief it is a skill that can get you very far very easily. Also many forgieners come to the united states every day and the knowledge of their launguage can be a priceless skill to use when living among them. If you ask anyone who can speak in more than one launguage,most would say how valuable of a skill it is to have. People often overlook its usefullness and that decreases the percentage of American students that can speak another launguage.
I think that everyone should learn a foreign language for many reasons. One being, to help you in your future successes. A foreign language will look great on a college application. With a foreign language you would have more job opportunities. You can have a job in a foreign country if you know how to speak their language. With a foreign language, you can make more money. As the Hispanic population increase in America, the knowledge of a foreign language becomes more important. With the ability to speak a foreign language, it becomes easier to befriend a person from a foreign land. Learning a foreign language and trully knowing how to speak the language could help you gain respect from people of other countries. These are reasons I believe everyone should learn a foreign language.
Students in America have many reasons to study a foreign language, if not several languages. One reason being to not fall behind the world in communication skills. Learning about a culture through the language spoken by that culture can help us get a better view of the world and its people. Jobs can be much more easily obtainable if you can speake more than one language. Buisness communications between many languages can boost buisness, which can boost the economy of the U.S. and the world. Let us not forget that the U.S. does not have an official language, and it is a country of immigrants. Travel to another country can be much more enjoyable if you know the language of the country. Many friends can be made if you can speak another language; I speak from personal experience. Many people will enjoy the fact that you can speak their language. The English language came late in the history of languages, and there is no reason that it should be the language of choice for everyone.
Learning a foreign language is good and it is almost always useful. There are many benefits to doing this such as getting better pay. Employers may pay more money for someone who is bilingual because more business can be done. Not only that it is even more important in America where there is no national language many different cultures and languages are here in America. A better education can be gained, more specifically colleges. You can get into a better college by learning a foreign language. By learning a foreign language you can communicate with more people and travel to and experience a variety of cultures. On the other hand, there is really no reason to not learn a foreign language.
Learning to study a foreign language can help very much, especially in America. America has one of the most diverse array of languages in the world. Studying one or some of them as early as possible helps understand these other languages even better. Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in America other than English. Studying Spanish in high school can help understand the growing Spanish population’s language. The earlier in life that you study a foreign language the better you retain it. High school is a fairly early time to start. It helps us connect to other cultures. It could also help people who speak a forign language feel more welcome in America. Also, just the knowledge learned from the foreign language can help expand your i.q.
Students in America should study a foreign language because we are living in a world where different countries work and communicate with eachother. If we have that advantage of knowing another language we will be able to go to other countries without the burden of a translator and appear more personable to the people we need to communicate with. This would end up giving a good impression of yourself, and possibly America, to others. Another advantage is a higher pay at the job you end up working at. If you can speak another language while one of your co-workers can’t then you could get many opportunities to move up from the position you were at before. You would also get paid more because you could talk to more people that may come to your workplace. Since America is mixed with many different languages, you would have that huge advantage from knowing just one of the many languages, other than english, that are here in the U.S. Last, since we are a country of mixed cultures, it’s usually nice to know a little about some of the other cultures other than your own. By learning a new language you not only learn how to communicate with others but you also learn some things about them. When you learn a new language the culture and background of those people come with it as well. This could explain many traditions, diets, and so on.
There are many reasons why students in America should study a foreign language. First of all, the should because of academic opportunity. The majority of (if not all) colleges require a foreign language be known if a student is to go there. Secondly, pay is better for many jobs. If you’re bilingual, most jobs pay more per hour because you’re able to communicate with a wider range of people. Next, if you’re a traveler, knowing another language is good. It’s helpful to be able to talk to the people you’re around! Finally, there are more job opportunities as a bilingual people. For example, you could be in government services (like FBI, CIA, etc.) if you can speak more than one language. Foreign languages are important to learn if you want to do anything in America!
Students in America have been blessed with the opportunity to attend school for free and learn a foreign language. Learning a foreign language is important for many reasons. First, it opens your mind to a new culture and way of life. Also, you will be able to communicate with people of different nationalities. Many businesses look for bilingual employees to translate, or do business with foreign customers. Being bilingual can give you an advantage when applying for a job. Learing a new language will also help you in the long run. Our country is become more diverse by the year and we will soon have to adapt to that change. As more cultures are introduced, knowing the language of those people will ease the transition. Being bilingual can give you a tremendous advantage in our society.
