Describe a language other than English that you would like to learn.

You should say:- what the language is- where it is spoken- what you think would be difficult- what
would be easy about learning the language and explain why you would like to learn it.

Band 9.0 Sample Answer

Learning a second language not only adds up your skills but also offers enormous benefits for your brain
and personal growth. Additionally, being bilingual or multilingual expands your knowledge across the
country’s border and provides you easy access to the understanding of other cultures. Therefore, beside
English, Spanish sits high in my must-learn list due to its wide application and beautiful culture.

Needless to say, Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world and one of the six official
languages used in United Nations conferences and statements. Spanish is spoken in most countries in
South and Central America and in the US, over 50 million people are using Spanish either as their
mother tongue or second language. As a result, knowing Spanish would absolutely widen your horizon,
develop your sense of appreciation for Hispanic culture as well as transform your travel experience as
who knows when you would bump into some Spanish friends on your adventure. Many have said that
Spanish is one of the easiest languages to learn thanks to its phonetic pronunciation and its similarity
with English, in terms of vocabulary. However, it’s easier said than done. No matter how simple and
intriguing that may sound, without full commitment and self-discipline, being able to speak Spanish
would be a far-fetched idea. Therefore, in order to meet my goal and not to get demotivated along the
way, I would have to find a learning partner and we would fight this tough war together.
