He who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own. These words were penned by the great German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his work Kunst and Alterthum. Indeed, if we were to take a look into how much stock people put into learning a foreign language, it would seem that von Goethe had a special insight into the world of languages.

How important is learning a foreign language? For many people, it is as important as their career. This is especially so for those whose mother tongue is not the English language. Like it or not, English seems to be the "unofficial official" language in the world today.
