Multilingual or Monolingual? || By: Dana Youldash

                 Many people think that it is difficult to learn a new language which is quite important for many advantages. Firstly, learning a new language will help them to find a job faster. It will improve their CVs and make it stronger than other people who are trying to get the same job and speak only one language. In addition, when the employers notice that they are bilingual, they will be more interested to offer them a job. Most employers consider multilingualism as a valuable skill. Secondly, it will boost their creativity. Some researchers said that multilingual people are more creative than monolingual people because they can solve problems and think logically. For example, if someone had a problem they will probably go and ask for advice from bilingual people because they can think in two different ways. As a result, their advice will be more useful and helpful. Last but not least, learning a new language will help them a lot in traveling. For instance, when multilingual people travel, they will not be worried or anxious about how they will communicate with others. Moreover, they will easily make new relationships while they are in foreign countries. To sum up, people should learn a new language for many advantages such as finding a job quickly, be more creative, and to help them in traveling.
