      That’s a very good question! Languages are our main means of communication and we need them to be able to talk to other people. Therefore, if we understand languages better and speak more foreign languages, we can communicate with people around the world. Also, we can only fully understand a foreign culture if we know the language, as language and culture are very closely linked and go hand in hand. By trying to understand languages better, we can also learn a lot about how people learn languages as efficiently as possible, which will then help us improve language teaching and learning. 🙂
