(VTE) - In the current era of globalization and international integration, learning foreign languages has become an essential need for everyone.
Not only a communication tool, foreign languages also open up development opportunities in study, work and life.
Develop intelligence and thinking skills
Learning vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure helps the brain develop and improve memory.
Foreign language learners often have to think flexibly to find ways to express ideas in another language, which helps you practice problem-solving skills.
Improve communication skills
Learning a foreign language helps learners improve their communication skills, not only in everyday life but also in professional discussions or international events.
Effective communication in a foreign language helps expand social relationships and promote cooperation between individuals from many countries.
Promote self-confidence
Mastering a new language gives students the confidence to communicate and present their ideas in front of a crowd. It also motivates learners to continue exploring new languages and fields.
Access to global knowledge

Online learning platforms, seminars, and international courses often require learners to be able to use English or other popular languages.
Increase learning and research opportunities
Learning a foreign language opens doors to scholarships, student exchanges and research abroad.

Expand career opportunities
In the context of the global economy, multinational companies and international organizations require employees to be fluent in foreign languages, especially English. People who can use foreign languages fluently often find jobs easily and have high incomes.
Cultural connection and exchange
Being fluent in a foreign language allows you to make friends and communicate with foreigners, increasing your ability to cooperate in work and life. At the same time, it increases your understanding of the culture, traditions, customs and practices of other countries in the world.
Travel and explore the world
When traveling, knowing a foreign language helps you confidently communicate, book rooms, ask for directions and explore local culture without depending on an interpreter.
It also helps travelers avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and enjoy their journey more fully.
Protect brain health
Many studies show that learning and using multiple languages can slow down the aging process of the brain and reduce the risk of dementia such as Alzheimer's.

Foreign languages help people access new technology, modern culture and world development trends.
