Who thinks knowing 2 or more languages is important?

I think it definitely is. I think everybody should know at least 2 languages. These days the world is really close via internet, tv, and traveling is very easy (as long as you don’t try and bring nail clippers on the plane…). I also think that people should know the majority of their native language. I know an iranian girl, her mother and whole family speaks the language, but she can only speak english. She has no interest in learning the language either, and I think thats sad.

My aunty speaks/writes 7 languages fluently. Its amazing, she is very intelligent. She speaks:

English, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Mandarin. And can write in all their alphabets too.

It gives you lots of business opportunities too, My Aunty has gotten a lot of business by speaking to all the clients in their language. She gets most of the business in her industry for this reason.

So yeah, I think it is very useful and I think all children should speak english and another language depending on where they live. I live in New Zealand and a few of my friends speak maori as well.

I think its useful. I speak english, and my howntown language which is just an off turn of english. 2nd lanuage being french and 3rd being a lil or spanish, hopeing to get it better when I go to spain this year

I live in the philippines. My native language is Tagalog and my 2nd language is English. I believe im kinda fluent on both. I would like to learn some european languages though. Knowing other languages amps up your resume.

I feel like it shouldnt be important, if a person goes to a native country (unless its just a vacation) THEY should know THEIR language. We shouldnt have to sit in a classroom to learn theirs.

I speak English and Vietnamese. I’m also taking a course to learn Chinese. I’ve lost touch with Vietnamese, but I’m hoping to get it back. And knowing 2 or more languages is very helpful. You can get higher paid jobs and be a translator in business and etc. Being bilingual+ is very beneficial and can also allow you to travel and meet clients.

I think Spanish and English are the important languages in the US. But it’s also important that everyone should speak their native language. Vietnamese is my native language but sadly, I cannot really speak them that well as I am barely fluent with that language.

I do my first language is english then my second is sign lanuage and my 3 is french. It is easyer to get a job if you speak more then one language
