Do our children necessitate learning more languages?


It is true that computers can translate all kinds of languages. However, it translates a word of another language to the needed language. Learning language helps it is easier to associate with people and also access to the traditions of the world. More languages you are acquainted with signify money comes as a stream while brighten your future. Therefore, children need to learn more than a language. 

Learning another language is a strong way to capture people and their culture. To learn efficiently, children need to contact with the lifestyle and culture of people who speak the language as a mother tongue. Then learning language will improve children knowledge about information that relates with the language.

For example, if children want to learn to write English, they need to know more idioms and phrasal verbs, therefore, they need to watch or read Shakespeare’s plays or fairy tale of England. Hence, they will know more about Britain culture and history as well.

For children, who learn more than one language; will have benefit in the future. During internationalization, business companies prefer bilinguals than one main language. As people discover another language from childhood, they can speak/ write creatively with a frequent ability of usage in the society. It also gives children more opportunities to find a suitable job. There are a lot of jobs for people who know more than a language.

For an instance, as my mother tongue is Sinhalese I started to learn Tamil as well and did for G C E O/L Examinations too. So this shows you how important are the necessity of knowing more than a language. As I know Sinhalese  English and Tamil I will be able to get a good career in future of my life. This will assist me to be a translator in future too.
