The English language tends to be very dominant in today's society, and so the need to study a foreign language doesn't seem too high.
However, studying a language will prove to have many advantages in all aspects of your life, within both your career and social life.
The ability to speak another language greatly widens your understanding of different countries.
When travelling you will be able to fully immerse yourself into their way of life, by conversing with others - it will also enable you to fully appreciate the culture of a different society.
It also shows that you have a respect for the country and people that you are visiting, which goes a long way to establishing good working and social relationships - if you make the effort then so will others in return.
The ability to speak more than your own language will stand out on your CV and will certainly improve your employability.
Regardless of the career path you choose, learning a foreign language will certainly not put you at any disadvantage! In fact quite the opposite, it will not only aid you in the work place but it will make you stand out from other candidates when applying for jobs.
This is especially so for anyone who has learnt a language as an adult.
Language learning for most is a difficult task so it can show a potential employer that you are able to cope in difficult situations.
Learning a new language will be fun! You will have the opportunity to learn new skills and hopefully meet new people too.

what are you waiting for! Start learning a language today and benefit yourself in many ways!!
