Foreign languages in the life of a modern man
The great German poet Goethe once said: «He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own». Learning foreign languages is especially important nowadays. Some people learn languages because they need them in their work, others travel abroad, for the third studying languages is a hobby.
Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They can’t go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do that.
A scientist, a historian, a diplomat are, as a rule, polyglots, because they need foreign languages in their work. If you want to be a stewardess, a pilot or an air traffic control officer you should learn English, the language of international communication. And how can a shop girl or a cashier in a big department store understand a foreigner, if she does not know a foreign language.
Some years ago a terrible earthquake occurred in Armenia. Several rescue brigades from different countries came to Leninakan to help the victims of this catastrophe. One of the most serious problems they came across was that practically nobody there could understand them. Very few people in Leninakan knew English, German or some other language.
So a mode and cultured person must learn foreign languages.
