I do not agree. You can be taught a second language in a class room, but that does not mean you are culturally diversified. Learning a second language in a native country of that language, would help to make you more culturally diversified, and yes it would help to gain a job. And yes the second official language of the USA is Spanish.

Yes i totally agree!
When you can speak and also try to learn other languages,it does get you better jobs.......
But even better it makes experience other cultures and at the end of the day you become open-minded and that makes you want to find more about different kinds of people before you start judging them!
I know this because i have friends from many different races and it was great learning about their cultures and lifestyles and it made me more tolerable to other people of all kinds of backrounds!

I do not agree. Just because you know a second or third language, doesn't mean you know a thing about the culture. It depends on what language you know if you will get better jobs. I don't think there is a high demand for people who know Czech, or Finnish.

You will have more opportunities but you will not get a good paying job from speaking multiple languages. I don't think translators, receptionists, or car-sales person etc, make A LOT of money...

In theory yes, in practical application no...I speak Norwegian and American Sign Language and they really haven't helped me get a better job.

Disagree unequivocally. between the most mendacious, proposterous assertions ever foisted upon the yank human beings is that understanding purely one language - English - by some potential makes one inferior or disadvantaged of a broader psychological expertise of the international in which one lives. Thomas Jefferson, who spoke conversational French, famously wrote that someone, no count number number how large their concepts, could never completely draw close a language as well to at least one as wealthy and shiny as English. so a concepts as extra valuable "jobs," one's occupation or paycheck hasn't ever been correlated with one's evolution or fulfillment as a man or woman. The argument is as feeble as your for sure rudimentary expertise of English. As for the lady above who wrote some nonsense about English no longer being a language of "love" or "revolution" or in spite of the hell else she wrote, i could submit that she suffers from a extreme lack of English language skills. attempt reading Shakespear, or Whitman, or Longfellow ... Masters of the language mutually with those light up tenors and hues and strands of emotion like love, self-reliance and non-conformity, the likes of which leap off your dense head because your factor of English comprehension is only too enfeebled to charm to close their subtelties. the perfect analysis is this: an outstanding form of the suitable minds of modernity were monolinguistic, so any association with intelligence and bi or tri or poly linguism is bogus. Language purely constitutes the equipment with which one imagine, expresses and feels. the extra valuable one masters the language in which one thinks and expresses, the keener one's concepts could be. The English Dictionary is voluminous -- scarce are the minds who could exhaust its potential and discover themselves in search for of extra equipment with which to imagine. talk some languages? solid for you. i'm nonetheless gaining knowledge of English, and that i'm a lot extra facile in its use than are you.
