Second language learning. Is it worth?

In this post I would like to comment on the issue of learning forein languages adressed in the article in the Observer. Nowadays many people think that English is enough in order to "survive" in the world. Especially such attitude is common among native speakers of English, which means that they do not need to learn any other language beside acquiring their mother tongue. Lucky them! Or not neccessarily...

Giving up the chance of learning a new language, one loses a lot. First of all you cannot explore another culture which for me is the best part of learning another language. I also believe that learning a language is fun! You can meet a lot of interesting people, learn a lot from them, but also they can learn something from you. Furthermore, knowledge of a language opens for us a range of future prospects as well: better job, promotion, studying or living abroad.

I like the quote from the article: "On the individual level, think of the loss of possibility, the preordained narrowness of a life encased in one language, as if you were only ever allowed one, as if it were your skin in which you were born. Or your cage." Let's not be ignorant to other languages, let's have fun, let's explore, let's do something for ourselves. And learning a new language can definietly help us to achieve everything mentioned
