Is It Still Relevant To Learn Languages In 2022? (5 reasons why)

LEARN LANGUAGES with OUINO: www.OUINO.com
Translation technology is improving by the minute. English is increasingly becoming a global language. It's no wonder some people doubt that it's still worth learning a new language in this day and age. We believe that it's getting increasingly important to learn other languages in this connected world. In this post, we’ll take a look at 5 reasons why you should seriously consider learning a new language.

What do you think? Is learning a language still worth it? In this post, we explore why we believe that it's getting increasingly important to learn other languages in this connected world. :)

[@rose_yts]

[@orkhanhasanov1922]

Learning a new language is still important, when for example you learn a french you don't just learn the language itself you also start to understand how french people think, what is it like to be a french. With technology you can never achieve thees things, emotions

This video is making some very interesting points. I am currently spending a lot of my free time on learning, improving and mastering three other languages so that I will be fluent in speaking and communicating in five languages in total. It is definitely worth the effort.

[@Nick-gi6hj]

I'm guessing that technology will improve drastically, but the amount of language, voice, and tone recording it will have to do in order to understand people's ways of speaking. There's just so much that goes into that, or people will have to adjust and some change their accents in order to use technology, it's obviously nothing easy. Besides that, this video included some pretty good points, the connections that are made between people nothing can replace

[@phgillon2614]

Yes it is even more now in 2021! English is all right BUT not enough and has a very limited shelve life communication wise if you speak it i a country that do not speak it as a first or second official language. Each language does open commercial/cultural/work/folkloric/artisanal doors that others cannot! Also, as much as I like to use English of course being in the UK now or speaking it to folks that has it as a first language, I am noticing tough and can see as my predictions which usually becomes true in such matters, that more and more people are starting not to chose English as a second language as a reflex to use it like the Lingua Franca right away but go for French, Spanish, Russian, German, Malay etc...which are per regions of the globe and for some, internationally, lingua francas themselves. Some folks also seem to go for specialised languages like Icelandic or Maltese or Farsi to open special historical and cultural doors. Since Brexit (which I understand the reason for) and so many Trumpist extremists in the United States still, English will be used less around the world, at least and indelibly at less than 15%, by 2023-25. I speak French, English / American, Mexican Spanish and I now go all the way for the first language in the continent of the European Union and in many German diasporas around the world and in the countries that speak it officially or as a second language in some regions: German!

Hello. I am a 57, and a few years ago I started working as a self-employed freelance writer. Which language would you recommend that I study, other than English, that would improve my ability to get hired for various projects? Thank you.

[@ouino]

Hello John, the language you choose to learn is a very personal thing. You are the best judge for your individual circumstances. Languages like Spanish, German, French will be relatively easy to learn and are in high demand worldwide. Other languages like Arabic, Mandarin Chinese and Russian have lots of speakers, but will be harder to learn. Also, try to find language that you find interesting, this will help you learn. Again it will depend greatly on your personal circumstances. Good luck!

[@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023]

@@ouino Thank you for the great advice.

[@MarkBH70]

@@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023 Portuguese and German are more in demand with less supply than French and Spanish. Many Spanish-speakers live in the US, so they learn English by default, or it is assumed, so many speak it. Brazil speaks Portuguese, so there are a lot of people who need someone who speaks English. Germany is where a lot of our technology comes from, and tech products, so it's quite important in business. Chinese and Russian are fine, also Japanese, but I wouldn't recommend them to someone who only speaks English, unless he's in, or will be in, one of those countries. Spanish could help in this country, but just realize that the market is flooded. Knowing English makes learning the Germanic languages easier; and German opens the door to other Germanic languages, which become easier with it as a base. The same is true for Spanish or Portuguese: They open up the Romance-language-speaking world. As Ouino said, it really depends on you! If you like one of the easier languages for English speakers, go for it! How does such language serve you?? That's an important question! Does it serve your travels, your ethnic background, your career? I'm 49 and I speak a few languages, starting with an easier one first.

Learning languages pays off a lot when one travels to the country that speaks it. You learn what to order at a restaurant (for me, açorda, in Portugal, or feijoada in Brazil; or something with isombe in East Africa); you find out people are different, and those differences are AMAZING. You can learn how to translate or interpret for money, also. Yes, they still use people for that, I checked. Traveling to your country that speaks your new language is eye-opening!

[@frozenpunchstarxd5717]

The good thing about this, is that people will have a choice to spend on a skill or not. If it's for business then it's fine english and technology, but language can also be a hobby, like learning the piano just for fun. For me, it's about the human connections and exercising the brain, the GYM of the brain. It's like getting fat, sitting all day with comfort there is a risk. We need to use our bodies, work hard, or we will reach the Wall-e movie fat humans.

How is Gary an authority on languages ? Technology helps us do things better not replace humans . For one things who will improve the translation softwares , fix bugs etc ?

[@clkvlk]

I think you cannot approach this topic objectively due to your existential concerns. Technology will indeed replace language learning. Unfortunately at this age of instant gratification, people won't even bother to make an effort to learn a new language. Like Vaynerchuck, most people's attitude towards it is superficial, only viewing it from a utilitarian angle. So those people will have their need taken care of by advanced tech capable of simultaneous translation.
