An obvious reason for learning a new language is to be able to communicate with the people who speak it. People in every country prefer it when tourists make an effort to speak the local language, even if all you can say in it is "hello" and "please".
Cultural understanding
Speaking a new language helps you to get to know another people and culture, as language and culture go hand in hand. It shows new ways of looking at the world. In addition, when you speak another language, you can enjoy literature, film, and music in the original language. It is extremely difficult for a translation to be a perfect replica (复制品) of the original. .
Business and careers
Schools and employers tend to prefer candidates who speak one or more foreign languages. Even though English is widely spoken in much of the world, the fact is that the global economy depends on communication. When dealing with France, for example, someone who speaks French will have an obvious advantage over someone who doesn't.
Language improvement
Learning another language can help you to understand your own. Many languages have contributed to the development of English. Also, in learning how another language differs from your own, you will increase your understanding of your own language. For many people, language is innate (与生俱来的) — we know how to say something, but we don't necessarily know why we say it that way. Learning another language can change that.
