communicate your ideas to others. Studying the vocabulary and grammar of a foreign language will
subtly enhance your understanding of your native tongue. Learning a foreign language’s syntax will
broaden your general linguistic understanding. And as you learn another language’s structure and rules,
your own language will become a frame of reference for comparison, and you’ll develop better
understanding of it’s conventions . your writing and speaking will become cleaner and you’ll have an
easier time processing difficult texts. Requiring foreign language help’s to make one’s education

Possible question: (negative side questions)

Why do we need to know other culture if we have our own?

-yes we have our own culture but it’s better if you know the cultures of different country so you’ll
become open minded and you are more likely to understand about the world, history and current affairs

What if the students do not have enough money to pay for this requirement?

-that’s why we have scholarship for those people who can’t afford this thing

(Yes we have scholarship but it’s not fair for those people who pay just to be with that foreign language
requirement?)
