Learning and mastering a new language is a great advantage as an employee in many different occupations. Customer service for example which deals with people that do not speak English a lot of the time are in much need for people that can put the customer at ease. It makes the communication smoother, and leaves a customer satisfied in knowing that everything they have said was clearly understood. When doing business in other countries will be much easier when a translator is not needed, or you could even be the translator for other people. Studies have proven that there is at least a 20% increase in the salaries of those that have bilingual careers. The extra advantage that it gives the company is one that is rewarded through higher salaries.

Travel can be stressful enough without the added complications of not knowing a word anyone is saying. A lot of people hate to be seen as a tourist, so knowing the language makes them feel less of a stranger and more of a local. It is easier to shop and eat at the local restaurants as well when you can speak the native language. It will free up more time to enjoy your travel experience, and learn about the culture behind the language as well as just speaking it.

There is also the unexpected spur of the moment times that can't be predicted when you might need to know another language. If someone was in trouble and they needed help wouldn't it be useful if you knew what they were saying so you could help them immediately? If someone didn't speak English and they were looking for directions wouldn't it be easier to tell them exactly where to go clearly? There are many places even in the United States that prefer to use another language because they aren't fluent in English. Maybe someone you know needed a translator for whatever reason. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the benefits of learning a new language.
