Learning a language for travel? I can't think of a much better reason to learn a language.The whole point of learning another language is to be able to communicate with other people, some of whom may not be able to understand your language. Even if they do, it still helps to improve communication between people. Travel exposes us to new lands, new people and new cultures with a history and a view of the world very different from our own.
Learn a Language and Get a better job
- Travel is easier when you know the language
Customs agents, taxi drivers, in hotels, restaurants and shops. All will be just a little easier if you know the local language. - Understand the culture
To be able to fully appreciate literature, theater, music, or film in other languages, one must be able to access them in their original form. Travel gives you a window into another culture and a different view of life. - Social contacts
You may make a few friends or business contacts on your trip. You may be opening up opportunities for yourself. - Discover new gastronomy
If you enjoy the food and/or drink, and the recipe books you want to use are only available in a foreign language.
"The limits of my language are the limits of my universe."
