German Foreign Language

Foreign Languages

Communication skill is one of the most important ones out there. It makes your life easier when you go to a foreign country, and people there welcome you for speaking their language. You don’t have to be perfect, and I’m not saying I am perfect in those languages I speak. However, it’s a great feeling to be able to talk to people from various cultures in their language

Я со временем всё больше удивляюсь, что в наше время существуют люди которые разговаривают только на одном языке. И я сейчас не говорю о людях, у которых нет возможности учить иностранные языки – где то в деревне. Наоборот, о тех у кого эта возможность есть, например у большинства европейцев.

In dem Land, wo ich jetzt die meiste Zeit verbringe, sprechen nur wenige Leute eine Sprache die nicht ihre Muttersprache ist. Natürlich, ist Englisch eine der meist verwendeten Sprachen in der Welt, aber warum nicht den Horizont erweitern? Ich kann stolz behaupten, dass ich mit mindestens 1 Milliarden Menschen auf diesem Planeten kommunizieren kann, dabei kann ich nur drei Sprachen.

And besides, whats stopping someone from learning a new language anyway, and why shouldnt you? Most people nowadays go to private schools or even public schools which offer numerous foreign language courses, especially in Europe. I know my school offered German, Spanish, Russian, French and even Chinese. So really, I think its not the problem of providing the service to people, it’s the people themselves. People are kind of lazy nowadays and don’t realize what they’re missing out on. Knowing a foreign language is one of the most powerful tools out there, both for social cause as well as career.

Go learn a foreign language!

P.S. I guess that post only made sense, if you know Russian, German and English.
