/^t/The first and the most important result of knowing the language is the ability to communicate. And communication is the most essential part of our life in society. For this reason we learn other languages. Our ability to communicate opens a lot of previously closed doors and it lets us to get to know people, their way of thinking and their problems. We could even say that communication allows us to have a contact with people, whereas such a contact helps us to understand them and understanding leads to sympathy. Such a conclusion may seem to be a little bit too far fetched but still I believe it is true. Communication is also helpful in everyday situations, such as going abroad on holidays, asking and telling the way. These are situations that all of us, sooner or later will come across.
