To some students, it seems that only foreign language to learn is English. There are, however, nearly 7,000 languages in the world. After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn't English--it's Spanish! Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible.
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN, as they think it means better job chances in the future. The UN has six official languages: Arabic,Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.
They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as their native or second languages.
Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.
What do you think Which other language would you choose to study and why
Because they think it means in the future.
Tip 1 for listening: Pronouns (it, they, she, etc.) refer to something or somebody mentioned earlier. Pay attention to the context of words to help you understand what the pronouns refer to.
