Do our children need to learn more languages in the future?


     Learning languages is very popular among youth. We study them hard in different reasons. Some of us plan to go live abroad, some are going to connect his life with tourism, some want to get aсquainted with with different cultures using foreign language. But will it be necessary in the future or not? 
     We know a lot of facts about a globalization and one of these is that amount of languages is slowly declining. Some competent people claim that a lot of languages would disappear in following hundred years so we would not going to need to learn a lot languages to communicate with people form other nationalities, to understand and to be understood. But as I have already said our children might be interested in exploring some cultures like some of us are. In this case, some historical documentation might exist only in some foreign language. In my opinion, history is very important for future generations, because they have to take a mistakes of earlier generations into consideration.       
     To conclude, I would like to say that an ordinary person in future will not need to learn as many languages as we are trying to learn nowadays, but may be for some of our children it will be interesting and useful, because learning languages is a good exercise for brains and certainly not less developing than mathematical logical tasks.
