At the most practical level, most of the people in the world do not speak English as a native language. Cultures and cultural values vary across the globe from ethnic group to ethnic group. One of the main reasons for Americans to study foreign languages is to gain a better knowledge of the multi-cultural modern world in which we live. A knowledge of other languages and cultural values can provide life enrichment and a deeper understanding of differing political, social, and religious values in a world in which Americans live and interact on a daily basis.
