So it is clear that speaking languages is very useful, and although it might be difficult to learn a foreign language well at first, it is always worth it in the end.

Being able to speak a foreign language is one of the most useful skills I have ever learned. It has allowed me to travel, meet new people and learn so much more about different cultures and traditions. In this way, it has helped me to open my eyes and my mind to everything that is going on in the world, rather than just in the UK.  I started learning French at the age of 11 and German at the age of 13. I still study German now, and over this summer I hope to pick up my French again, as I will be teaching both next year. I can't wait to pass on my knowledge of languages to other people. In my school, learning French was a must while German was a choice. To this day I am still happy with my decision and hope that in the future more students will make the same choices as I did.  I have recently realized just how much you can do with a language, especially in the world of work. If you ask someone to name the jobs you can do if you speak another language, what they always say are: teacher, translator or interpreter. However, now knowing another language is an advantage in about any job you can think of. Most businesses will have offices abroad, or will want to do business with other countries, and for that reason need people who know other languages.  So it is clear that speaking languages is very useful, and although it might be difficult to learn a foreign language well at first, it is always worth it in the end.
