Why ask Why study a foreign language?
There are many reasons why you should study a foreign language and its literature and culture.
Learning a foreign language is one of the most enriching experiences in anybody's education. Studying a foreign language, after all, is not only about how to order a beer or food in a restaurant or how to read a map. It entails exploring a way of life, a different culture and the traditions of another country.
