THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING LANGUAGES
Today,
we live in a globalized world where everyone connects with everyone. That is
why learning languages is a great tool when it comes to progress as a student
and professional. Although it is advisable to learn a second language from
childhood, it is never too late to develop this ability.
Today
it is imperative to learn another language because in most areas of knowledge
and human development other languages are used. The learning of different
languages for the students is a primordial necessity. It is no longer a waste
of time as many people usually think, but it is an investment since this
learning not only enhances the possibility of getting a better job but also
enriches social and cultural life, since language is the key to the culture.
The
development of new societies resulting from economic and cultural integration
requires the mastery of different languages. This causes great challenges to
which a student has to dare to enter a world where we are in permanent
communication with other countries with different languages.
Learning
other languages allows you to enrich your life, to experiment with new ideas,
to exercise your mind, to benefit from world cultural diversity, to obtain
scholarships for postgraduate studies, to work in a transnational company, as
well as a capacity to express yourself in a way understandable, thus increasing
social relations.
As
you can see, learning another language is vital for your future, it will give
you advantages not only on a personal level, but also in the professional and
academic spheres. A better way to learn languages is with university
exchanges, and we at the University of Congress give you that opportunity that
