Learning foreign languages is growing more urgent in most of the countries. Speaking languages besides your own allows you to truly experience different cultures (and your own in comparison with them), to communicate better, and to be exposed to new ideas in general. English has become the world language, the lingua franca. More and more people are learning English. Russia is no exception — English is the dominating foreign language in Russia. It is taught at schools, universities and even kindergartens. Unfortunately, a lot of Russians don’t really speak it.
Good language skills allow to communicate with lots of interesting people while travelling, to watch series and films and read books in the original. Speaking English also can get you a better job — most of job openings require at least some English and willingness to learn it further.
There are plenty of learning techniques. Reading English books is useful. To improve your listening skills, try English podcasts and watching films. Writing can be boosted through sending letters to a penfriend. But the most important thing is to learn speaking, communicating with people. So don’t hesitate to join online or offline speaking club — it’s fun and also can help you find more friends.
But we shouldn't leave behind our native language. Learning foreign languages is much more effective when you compare language realia in different languages.
Speaking foreign languages is a must for a well-educated and intelligent person. It broadens the mind, gives the opportunity to gain new experience and it's simply just fun.
