The great German poet Goethe once said: "He who knows no foreign language does not know his own one".
Learning foreign languages is specially important nowadays. Some people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They cannot go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work with an imported instrument or a machine, if he is not able to read an instruction how to do it. Ordinary people need language to translate the instruction or the manual to the washing machine or a vacuum cleaner, medicine or even food products.
