It many also help you to make sales and to negotiate and secure contracts.

Many English-speaking business people don't bother to learn other languages because they believe ____that____ most of the people they do business with in foreign countries can speak English, and if they don't speak English, interpreters can help. The ____lack____ of foreign languages knowledge puts the English speakers at a disadvantage. In meetings, for example, the people on the other side can discuss things among themselves in their own languages without the English speakers understanding, and using interpreters slows everything down. In any socialising after the meetings, the locals will probably feel more comefortable using their own language rather than English.
Language is a means of communication so each nation has its own language. However some nations have the same language. According to the speakers' use of language, it is called the first, second or foreign language. Among the languages used by most people in the world is English. This does not mean that English is spoken by greater number of speakers than any other languages, for it is easily outnemberred by Chinese in this respect. However, it is the most international of languages because it provides ready access to the world scholarship and world trade. That is the reason why millions of men and women try to master it.

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing.

Southeast Asia.
There is always plenty to do in Bangkok any time of the day or night from watching Thai dancing or
