What is the use of knowing more Chinese? What does multilingualism mean?

In many industries, English is a necessary attribute to fight monsters and upgrade, needless to say. If you want to make money, it is nothing more than taking classes, interpreting, tour guides, etc., or some foreign companies have special language needs, but they all require you to have a considerable level. In short, from a pragmatic point of view, it is difficult to make you rich with a single language alone.

Making money is certainly not as good as IT and finance. From the perspective of intellectual development, learning a language is a good way to develop the brain. Studies have shown that multilingual speakers are more observant.

Most importantly, a language is the key to a culture, allowing you to appreciate the richer beauty and more wisdom. It is for this reason that I love German culture and can continue to learn the complicated, complicated and strange language of German.

Prevent Alzheimer's disease. Smile. Seriously.

The French teacher talked about one of her mentors: an old gentleman who can speak ten Chinese, all in his 80s, and his thinking is still very clear. When he was younger, he worked as a simultaneous interpreter.

Of course, don't expect what you've learned to turn into real currency.

I use my foreign language skills to eavesdrop on the locals. When you go to Japan and an izakaya at night, you can eavesdrop on what the two Japanese girls at the table next to you are talking about, and at the same time, you can tell them to the people who don't understand them. When you go to South Korea and hear the locals say how the Chinese hate it, you can go back and refute them in Korean, or you can use their weak English to kill them.

A language is a world, you can learn if you like it, you can learn it if you need it for work and study, ask if it is useful or not, it is nothing more than whether it can be converted into value, some are visible such as money, and some are invisible and called fun. Why don't we think about what kind of job we want to find, what kind of company we like, and most of the company's products we like are exported, or who is the majority of people in the company? Or what are the hard requirements of most preferred companies?

You can work as a tour guide and interpreter, and you can travel to various places.

The major is CS, and in terms of personal experience, Chinese is for life, English is for career, Spanish is for hobby, and Portuguese is for pretending. ‍‍

There is a scene in the movie "Rabe's Diary" where the protagonist chooses to keep one person, and the rest are killed, leaving behind a driver who can understand German. Sometimes it works, it just gives you a life. ‍‍

You can go to all the countries of the West and improve your knowledge. ‍‍

Whether you go out to travel or meet foreign people in China, you don't have to worry about communication, and you feel proud to talk to foreign ** in front of many people.

Every time I see someone judging language by the standard of pragmatism, it hurts. Language is a container, the language of a country holds the history, and the language of a person contains the nourishment of the person. If you have to look at whether it is "useful" to find a job or study, it is not as good as being proficient in one language to be multilingual. ‍‍

If you don't use a foreign language and can't learn it, it's best if this foreign language is your working language. Human energy is limited, and instead of dwelling on language, it is better to learn a technique. ‍‍

A multilingual community is one in which there are many people living in different dialects in a community who have difficulty communicating.
