4) Advantages and disadvantages of having to learn foreign languages:

Many students at university have the chance to study a foreign language, but most choose another subject. Really, what are the advantages or disadvantages to learn a language?

On the one hand, nowadays speaking more than a language open up doors to a lot of opportunities in your professional and social life: ability to communicate with people of different countries, work abroad... Furthermore, to find a work, having in your resume that you know to speak more languages than the yours adds points when it is time to choose between you and others.

On the other hand, studying a language imply spend a lot of time and, sometimes, this waste of time does not worth it. Added to that, when you study a new language, you often experiment many difficulties and speaking fluent often is not be accomplished in many years.

In conclusion, if you need a work or go abroad for anything many times over your life, the effort of learn a language will be worth. But, in my opinion, if you have your life in your country and your vocation doesn't need any foreign language, studying another thing that helps to your career will be more useful than kill yourself learning a language.
