What are the benefits of learning another language?

We use our native languages to communicate our thoughts and ideas but did you know the very language that you use may influence the way you approach problems or think about certain sentences. You may have encountered a translation or someone saying this can’t be translated and you might have thought to yourself..how can this not have an equivalent in my language? The fact is every language has its strengths and weaknesses, some languages have a larger arsenal for certain parts of life and some languages have a wider range of descriptions etc. The ancient Greeks for example were fascinated with philosophical and social sciences, this is reflected in their language and affected their vocabulary. Some concepts didn’t have words or concise ways of describing them and so new terms were developed with specific purposes in mind… The Greeks had multiple words for English love, with clear distinctions between each. You can love your dog but would you love your best friend in the exact same way? More than likely there's a difference but there's no succinct way of describing that in English… This is just one of the ways other languages can express more concepts. 

What does English bring to the table?

English is a world language that has connections to both French and German. Its position as an international language is a strong one. It is perhaps the most widely spoken language in the world, if you can understand or even speak English, you have a massive advantage against your non-ESOL counterparts. Many jobs, even those that don’t typically operate internationally appreciate employees who are bilingual or even multilinguists. If you like to travel you always find people on every continent who have a passing knowledge of English. This is “thanks” to colonial history and the global influence of America and its culture. Due to the nature of its global spanning presence, many countries have English as an official language and have facilities for English speakers in their countries. Tourist destinations often have signs and employees who can help with English speakers.
