Which secondary languages are worth studying today?
I think this question ocurred everyone in my group when we were going enter the university. However, not only linguists should know many languages because with multiculturalism and the opportunity for travel being bigger and better than at other time in history, it is now more important than ever for people to have at least some knowledge and understanding of languages other than own native one.
In my opinion there will always be dominating languages in the world. First one, of course, is the English language.The greatest benefit of learning English is that it increases cultural understanding, not only of native English-speaking cultures, but of any other country whose second language is English. The film and music industries are largely English-driven. The art, traditions and culture of any country, especially those of native English-speaking countries, can be better understood if you have some knowledge of the English language. Being centuries-old and having been the native language of empirical powers and world leaders, English remains a great source of influence in human history.
The second language that you learn is Chinese.One fifth of the planet speaks Chinese. It is the mother tongue of over 873 million people, making it the most widely spoken and fastest growing language in the world. So, if you’re going to learn another language, why not make it the one that almost ¼ of the world already speaks! Also it’s fair to say that more and more foreigners are arriving in China looking to find work as a teacher or to start their own businesses. And I think that's a really good reason for learning chinese.
To sum up, I want to say that learning languages is really important. Because it will always serve to enhance your quality of life, and even if you never use that language in practical circumstances, you almost certainly will enjoy the time spent educating yourself.
