11. Importance of learning foreign language

It is widely discussed whether it is necessary to learn foreign languages or thanks to technological progress this knowledge is useless nowadays. However, I absolutely disagree with this point of view, despite the fact that many of my acquaintances share this opinion. To begin with, needless to say, that getting any knowledge develops your brain, and as to foreign language, that makes you learn new system and that improves your skill to think logically. Moreover, what is the most important, it lets you to communicate with people from over the world. Of course, my opponents can claim that there are many electronical dictionaries with enable you to explain whatever you want. But, firstly, there are some small things in language like tiny differences in word sense, that can change the meaning of your phrase. Secondly, you can't use intonation to express your feelings while talking, if you don't know the language. And the last but not the least, you can't sound confidently, if you use a dictionary or a translator and it's much more difficult to gain trust and respect from people whose native language you don't know. To conclude, till it's not too late, try to learn as many foreign languages, as your abilities alow you!
