Hi!!
In my case I only speak my natural language (spanish) and I’m improving my English as a second option.
I think that is very important to know different languages along our live, because they’ll provide you more freedom and security when you travel abroad and in many cases at work, when you have to deal with other people in professional tasks.
Maybe one day in the future only exists one language that everybody know and speak, and I suppose that it would be very important and satisfactory, because all the people would be more communicated and the information would be shared easier among all the countries, no matter the culture or the way of thinking.
I think that learning other languages has more advantages than disadvantages. It open us a lot of doors in our professional development and in the possible relations that we can have in our live with other cultures.
We can get two kind of advantages, in a personal context, being able to make relations with people from other countries, for example, if we travel abroad, and in a professional context, dealing with people about work, and in personally, for our mind exercise and development.
Bye, bye!!
