Is it really a question? Like seriously? Try, try really hard to imagine the whole world without knowing any foreign languages. Impossible? Thought so.
I need to start with some basic info about me. I've always been surrounded by foreign people who speak Polish or not. Italian godfather (to be honest I haven't talked with him "for real" - my mother is the only good Italian speaker in my household. It's not enough to say: Ciao! Come stai? Sto bene, grazie mille. E tu?), Italian uncle, Japanese uncle, Belgian aunties... I can go on like this for quite a while. That is why, I have learnt many short phrases in different languages and I've always thought of them as "useful", i.e. my visits in Italy: I could say the number in Italian so that the shop assistants would understand me at last. Moreover, I have listened to foreign music since I remember. It was not a big problem for me that I did not understand the lyrics. I came to understand them with time, which helped me to learn even more phrases (this makes me remember when I came to Junior High and I did not know English at all - I scored 14 points at the entrance test which was to put us into groups. All thanks to music). Now I listen to even more strange things and I cannot imagine a day without it. So I need to give up on it just because I don't know the lanuages they speak? Well, the answer is clear: NO.
We live in such times that it is impossible to know only your native language. There are only benefits if you think of learning foreign languages. Better job, being independent when you go abroad, your own development in various aspects: training memory, making your knowlegde about world grow so on and so forth. So, as for me, there is no question about learning a foreign language. Just do it!
P.S. To make it less serious... I've been thinking of it for a few days. Why doesn't the Alliance understand what the Horde says in the World of Warcraft? Those humans, night elves or whoever need to learn the Orkish language as it may cost their lives! Don't you think, guys?
