If you’re thinking that learning a new language (such as English) is just another subject in school or a way to get a higher-paying job, then consider some of the more significant reasons to learn a new language.

No matter if you’re learning one of the world’s most influential languages (English or Chinese) or a lesser-known language (Swahili, Korean, Italian, etc.), another language is your passport to the rest of the world.

I don’t mean that learning another language means you’ll be able to converse with more people or interact with a different culture (although those are important things too). No, learning a new language also opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

If we only speak one language, or maybe even if we grew up bilingual, then we are really limited by the perspective of our home country. It would be difficult for us to see things differently or really understand another point of view.

But with technology, we don’t even need to travel (even though it can be life-changing). Just by talking to people online, we can immerse ourselves in their culture, in their world view, and in their experiences.

Learning another language and connecting with people from all over the world makes you realize that everyone has the same basic needs and wants. Learning a second language also gives you the opportunity to understand why other people behave the way they do, and why they believe the things they believe. It also gives you a whole new lens through which to look at and explore your culture.

My perspective on American culture has changed drastically as I have travelled and learned languages. I have seen both the good and bad aspects of my culture.

Revolutionize your perspective and worldview

Although we may not be aware of it, the majority of our understanding of other cultures is based on the media, our governments, and stereotyping.

The problem with this, however, is that when we stop listening and start experiencing, we see that stereotyping is almost always wrong.

In fact, it is very difficult to believe what we have been told in the media, because the media often manipulate us.

When we are open and talk to people from all over the world (online and in person), we see that most Germans are not cold and unfriendly. Brazilians do not just play soccer and party and dance the Samba. French do not only eat croissant and smoke cigarettes. Spaniards do not usually fight bulls.

There are superficial differences between our cultures and histories. But at the core of it all, we are all human beings.
