Welcome to Modern Languages
The ability to speak and understand a foreign language is very important in a number of ways, including when on holiday, when making new friends, when using the internet or for your future employment, perhaps if you have to deal with people from other countries.
Companies are much more likely to trade with a country if they have people working for them who are able to speak the country’s language instead of relying on speaking English. This is becoming increasingly important in today’s world of work.
Learning a language is not only important for finding a job but can also be fun and can open up lots of new possibilities for you in terms of future travel and where you might live!
