  • Hello tutors! Why it is important to learn second, third or fourth language?

    Does it play any role for peace on the globe?


    Best answer

    Speaking from personal experience, as someone who travels a lot. My travels made me a better person. How? With years I realized that regardless of race, religious affiliation or nationality deep down we are all the same. We all cry and laugh for the same things. My travels made me completely colour blind. And of course, to travel - and to be able to communicate with people along the way - you need languages. The more the better. A new language gives you a better insight into a culture you didn't encounter before. No Wikipedia can ever match that.
