English is a form of speech and a language spoken by millions of people. Language as the principal means used by human beings to communicate with one another, knows no limit in communication. A language can go beyond the borders of anything, even the borders of human hearts. Sometimes, language is the friend in need when we’re facing troubles and need some relaxations.
But, actually, the need of languages doesn’t seem to be understood by most people. Mostly, they will always say that learning more than 1 or 2 foreign languages is rubbish. They don’t say these kinds of things because they really think that way, it’s actually because that the laziness that conquers their deepest desires. I’m pretty positive that everyone loves to be able to speak more than one language, but the fact tells the contradiction, for people are just too damn lazy to get up on their feet and start learning. That’s why people often ask me, “Why do you have such desire and such push in your heart to be able to master those kinds of languages? You actually don’t know whether you’ll need them or not!” I always try to be patient when I’m confronted into these kinds of interrogative, heart-stabbing questions because they just don’t appear to have an ending. These kinds of questions are meant to get us down when in contrary; having the desire of mastering foreign languages is actually a miracle. It’s a miracle that provides time to savor and not many people have this kind of desire.
In first, the usages of languages are to be described.
A language is a complex mixture of linguistic signs and arbitrary meanings. It’s also a perfect tool to discuss a wide range of topics. Humans are fools when they don’t have any languages; so then languages are the ones that differentiate humans from others. A language is also able to unite the whole world. England, for instance, is united with English. The whole world actually is united with English, since England was the ruler of the 6 continents around the world. Languages can also be personal identities, able to determine the educational state of a person, whether he/she is well-educated or not.
Now, why do we need to learn languages? There are several answers, which are:
- mastering languages is important because we’re in the middle of the globalization era
- we have to maintain the existence of
- mastering languages can lead you to personal success in life, like earning bigger salary than others
- languages exist to be used by humans to communicate, so by mastering languages, actually you’re expanding your range of communicating.
- Languages don’t come easily, so actually by learning languages, you’re actually enhancing your credibility.
- It increases your understanding to the whole world of communication.
So, if I were asked whether I regretted learning English or not, I would say NO and mention that people who don’t have the desire to learn new things are just plain cowards. They’re no use at all because learning is an ever-lasting process which takes a life time to try mastering it. Learning is essential and learning languages is also pivotal. Languages, such as English, are there to be learned and mastered.
