Nowadays, translation apps and other technologies are making international communication easier.

So why should we learn a language when we can just use available technologies?

1- Learning a language for professional reasons

No technology is available at the moment to assist you when you have to deal with international clients or suppliers over the phone. Learning a language is also learning a new culture. It helps to understand behaviours and avoid cultural faux pas.

2-Learning a language to immigrate abroad

More than a visa requirement, learning the language of your new home country is an absolute must-do.

3-Learning a language for your partner

Nowadays, more and more couples are bi-national. Even if you obviously manage to communicate together, learning each other’s language is sometimes necessary to communicate with your family-in-law.
