ESSAY

Introduction
Learning one more language is important because it increases employment
opportunities, educational and personal experiences. Learning other languages is
important because it will help you connect socially with more people and cultures
around the world, so it is currently essential in any international workplace , as in the
United States or China, where there are a large number of companies that require
employees able to talk to all their partners around the world, demonstrating that people
who speak several languages can increase their pay and are more likely to have frequent
settlements because of their great usefulness in labor relations, on the other hand,
learning another language contributes to the search for knowledge that allows having
more variety of options to read. Therefore, I consider that learning another language is
necessary to improve educational and cultural knowledge, in addition to allowing better
development in working life. From my stated position, it is necessary to learn other
languages. First it allows to learn from the customs and cultural of other places in the
world. Second it allows to expand the academic knowledge. Third it allows a better
professional development.
Paragraph 1
First, it is known that learning another language allows you to have better
communication with the natives of other cities so that you can interact with many more
people. On the other hand, it generates greater confidence in dialogue, because the
native is not required to speak with formal words in our language. Finally, it allows us
to experience the cultures and customs of the natives without having to explain it in our
language, but we are now able to investigate and understand it.
Paragraph 2
Second, it allows expanding educational knowledge with the large number of books
and videos available in other languages. Also allows discussion on educational topics in
forums around the world. Finally, facilitates the understanding of devices in engineering
for which you have design plans in a specific language.

Paragraph 3
Third, learning a new language can improve working relationships with clients because
it is much more comfortable and respectable to speak in the client’s language. Also
allows you to understand more clearly what other people want to explain. Finally, it
brings much more to the company and can generate labor benefits.
Conclusion
According to the above, learning a new language opens the doors to many personal,
educational, and work benefits, which allow us to develop better as people and expand
knowledge every day to contribute more to the progress of society.
