Be a Multilingual

    Some people say that learning a new language may waste time, but researchers approved that it has a lot of advantages. The first and the most important advantage is that learning a new language gives the learner the ability of talking about new cultures and traditions fluently. This can affect the mind and make it more focused and able to understand the surrounding world. Also, it can change the way of thinking that the mind used to think in. That leads us to the next advantage which is thinking in a different way. When a person learns a new language, he will be able to think in the same way that the language speakers think in. For instance, a Saudi linguistic researcher has learned Hebrew and read their holy book, which allowed him to understand the way of their thinking and the reason behind trying to colonize Palestine. The final advantage that people may forget about is that the new language will offer its learners a job as translators. Soccer players need these translators when they are in a new club that does not speak their language, for example. Moreover, working in another country and  helping tourists is another job opportunity as a translator. To conclude, learning a new language provides a number of advantages like having the ability to talk about new cultures, changing the way of thinking, and getting a job opportunity.
