7 reasons why you should learn an additional foreign language (4-5)

4. To increase your circle of friends and acquaintances

Speaking foreign languages increases the number of people with whom you can communicate. In case, if you know languages such as Spanish and Chinese (mandarin) than you will understand and can communicate with 1/3 native speakers of the globe. So, the fact is that the more languages you know the more you can communicate and share common interests with other countries, cultures, communities, associations, politicians, scientists, fan clubs,etc.
Where ever you meet people you will increase easily the number of person you know, immigrants in your neighborhood, native speaking students while you are studying abroad, pen pal friends or friendships through the internet. You will also recognize how open people become and are changing their behavior after having spoken or contacted them in their native language.
On the other hand, most people like people with knowledge, whom they can learn from. People like to hear adventures, stories, travel experiences, affairs, by telling them that you have managed to handle or get through it with a new language you will be a popular person. 

5. You will discover yourself from a different point of view

One additional value of learning a foreign language is seeing yourself and your own culture from a different point of view because being monolingual will limit you in any aspect. You will discover cultures and people who are doing things in a different way than you are used to. Getting in contact with other languages and cultures will give you the opportunity to get rid of your familiar scope and see your traditions, norms, culture, and living standarts through the eyes of others.
