Don’t we all get attracted to the cultures and languages of different foreign countries? As soon as we watch an international show, we try their accent and obsess over their lifestyle, food .etc. The scope for foreign languages has always been wide and it has all the more increased in recent times. So, most schools and universities offer a foreign language as an additional subject. Learning a foreign language is no more confined to being a hobby. The people who are well aware of the scope offered by foreign languages carry it forward as their profession. The scope is increasing day by day and we can expect more of the Indian universities to offer such courses.
Let’s have a look at the benefits of learning a new foreign language:
Communicate
Learning a new language makes room for communication with strangers who can accompany and guide you with your journey abroad. People knowing the same language and conversing are more likely to become friends. If you are bilingual, it makes your professional and personal circle wider. Also, you no longer need to switch your subtitles on with that fluency.
Travel
Learning a specific language like Spanish makes it easier to travel to the cities of Spain like Madrid and Barcelona, especially for football fans. Being bilingual is much better than finding people who know English and translating for the slightest needs. Additionally, the students who wish to pursue their studies from abroad should surely learn the native language of that country to avoid miscommunication and bullying.
Career Prospective
French, the native dialect of France is the most broadly used foreign language after English. Accordingly, almost all schools and universities offer their students a chance to learn the widely known and relatively easier language. Along with being able to communicate with French speakers, it offers great career opportunities like a translator, professor, tourism, a language expert at MNCs, etc. Likewise, languages like German, Spanish, Russian, etc. have various companies working in India and hunt for proficient speakers.
