we have become more dependent on chemicals.  and, strangely, we hardly notice anymore. every single day we start and finish by using a product that has at least 10 different chemicals in it: a toothpaste. later, we take a shower using several products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion). the names of the chemicals in all these products will take a few pages to list. later on, we eat chemically enhanced food, packaged in plastic.  we wear and sleep on synthetics, we drink and eat foods that are drastically modified with chemicals.  all these innovations have been introduced less than 50 years ago, just two generations have been around so many chemicals lately.  and, scarily enough, we hardly notice anymore.

there are many reasons why  everyone   should learn a foreign language.

firstly, learning a language of another country helps one understand its culture.    language becomes a peephole to look at the nation’s culture, its traditions and its history. italian film director federico fellini says, "a different language is a different vision of life". 

research has shown that having studied a foreign language one can understand one’s own language better. it deepens the understanding of one’s own culture. general language skills improve after studying foreign languages.

another thing that talks of the importance of foreign language study is touring to foreign countries.

  eventually, knowing a foreign language  opens new job and employment opportunities in many countries and markets and it's grate!
