Why the new languages?

Out of fun and adventure especially during holiday breaks individuals like travelling out of their countries for some reasons. It is therefore important that they are able to express themselves well with the local communities. Usually the major reason for learning new languages is due to the need to travel to foreign countries where the languages used are different from those in one's home country.

Why people travel or cross borders?

For business purposes; one may have business partners in a foreign country speaking a foreign language thus the need to learn basics of that language. If one is to stay for long in a foreign country, then a deeper learning is even necessary.

Others travel for study purposes and if a foreign language is as a means of instruction, then the necessity to learn the language arises. Some have the foreign language lessons in their home countries before embarking to their destinations, while others travel first, and then enrol in language lessons in the very country where they go. This also applies to students who go for exchange programmes.

Some people find love in foreign countries, especially women. This may begin with dating say on internet sites. When such relationships mature, the love birds plan visits to each other's countries if they happened not to be in the same country and marriage comes up in some cases. The need to learn the others language arises and thus the visit to language schools. 

Some people have to travel when their medical conditions have to be handled in foreign countries.

Then others travel for simply leisure purposes through visits and tourism purposes.

Other alternatives

The immediate alternative to learning a language through a language institution or school is through translation services. Learning is a difficult and tiresome tasking therefore one can just utilize language services provided by translation agencies to have his/her goal fulfilled effectively and in every short period of time. One can even learn through a translator by simply having basic expressions translated into the target language.

Certain situations may not wait for you to learn the language first. For example, for a medical condition where one needs urgent surgery in a foreign country, medicaltranslation services will be required to translate the medical reports and or a medical interpreter for effective communication between the medical staff and patient.
