Für viele junge Deutsche sind Sprachen mehr als nur ein langweiliges
Schulfach. In vielen Situationen kann eine zweite Sprache sehr nützlich
sein. Beim Einkaufen im Ausland ist es natürlich besser, wenn
Touristen zum Beispiel Spanisch oder Französisch sprechen.
In der Berufswelt verdient man oft mehr, wenn man mehr als eine Sprache
sprechen kann. Internationale Meetings sind nicht immer auf Englisch.
Englisch ist nötig als Computersprache. Man benutzt Deutsch aber oft
bei der Musik und Technik.
