/^t/But a language does not exists on its own, it is a language of a given group of people and because of this fact, of a given culture and tradition. Through knowing the language we can get to know a new culture and thanks to that to widen our horizons. New culture might mean literature. One could say we can easily use translations but still not everything has already been translated into a given language. Another thing is that our interests might be very specific and unusual and without knowing a foreign language it would be almost impossible to develop them further on for example, one might be interested in reading the Bible in Hebrew and for this reason they have to know this language.
