Why I Need Languages

Kanna
There are three important reasons why I need languages. First, I want to study English, Korean, and Chinese. I especially want to speak English and Korean. I like these two country’s cultures, such as their music and movies. I want to understand what they say and what they think. I really enjoy studying with TV programs, movies, and music because these are also my hobbies! I watch English movies with English subtitles, but my Korean skill is not good yet, so I watch Korean movies or videos with English subtitles, not Japanese. This is a very good way to improve my language skills!

Second, I think I cannot be a global citizen only speaking Japanese in the future. The Japanese economic condition has not been good lately and the population of elderly people has increased, so we have to become more global. Almost all Japanese people, even people who work for major corporations cannot speak English fluently. Globalization is progressing in many areas of society and I need to adapt. I have studied English since I was 10 years old, but I cannot speak English well yet. I really feel It is very hard to study languages, but I will do my best!

Third, I like to travel abroad, and I want to talk with local people. English is a very useful language because there are many people to speak English with all over the world. If I can speak English more, I have more choices. For example, there are a lot of articles and websites written by English on internet, so I  could get more informations and knowledges. Also, many tourists come to Japan. The number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2019 was over 31 million and this number is increasing every year. I want to help these people to understand Japan better by using English with them.

In conclusion, these my three important reasons for studying languages are that I can understand the cultures of other countries and I can improve Japanese economic condition and I can travel abroad and help people understand Japan better. Therefore,
It's really good for me to be able to speak other languages. That is why I need languages.
