We often hear that you need to know your native language, you need to know other languages. But for what purpose? Why do you need to learn languages? The funny thing is that most often parents say this to their children, while they themselves do not know any other language than their native.
"We know best" from the creators of you
Parents, seeing that translators earn a lot, try to shove their child into a school where there is an emphasis on learning foreign languages, or to a special tutor who must teach new languages for a lot of money. Investments in the future so that the son can earn good money and help his parents. If the child calmly succumbs to this, the study goes at least relatively easily, he does not protest against classes, wanting to take a walk, play football or go knitting, then this will only be good for him. In the future, he will understand and appreciate the efforts of his parents. But there are situations when a child is not able to learn one single language, at least his own - Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian - it does not matter. If a person is not adapted to this, there is no need to forcibly shove this knowledge into him. Engage in improving his literacy -yes, but why does a person who is strong in other areas need a language of another country and cannot remember a simple greeting phrase in Italian? The problem here is that parents are looking for what they think is the best option without taking into account the capabilities of their child.
As a result, a person may learn a language, but most likely will not understand why it is necessary to know languages, and will hate all those hours and days that he spent constantly cramming new words instead of directing his strength and time to explore another area close to his interests.
The need for knowledge of the language in everyday life
But if we talk not about foreign languages, but simply about why a language is needed at all. First of all, it is a means of communication. Knowing the language of the people who are in your environment, you can easily find out everything you need: the weather on the street, the price of food, ask about the schedule, study, work, communicate, discuss new films - all this is impossible without language. You say that there are dumb people who are not able to communicate using the usual way for he althy people? True, but they also have their own language, which they have learned and through which they communicate with each other. To do this, they do not need the speech apparatus as we have it - they replaced it with gestures.
Another answer to the question of why language is needed is that knowledge is transmitted through it.
Humanity has come up with words, figured out how towrite down, with the help of this transfers information from generation to generation. Not a single older dog will tell his younger generation that you don’t need to go there or that you don’t need to eat this. Of course, information is transmitted at a certain level by remembering smells and other abilities of the animal. But we have a wonderful ability to convey all information through speech and writing.
Why do we need the Russian language
Like any other native language, Russian unites the population of the country. And in a specific case, even many countries that once existed in an association called the USSR.

That is, one link reunites the minds of a huge part of the Eurasian continent - a rather powerful argument, isn't it? But the current state of the language leaves much to be desired. Perhaps it was like this before, because until a certain point, a school where you will be taught to write, read and, accordingly, competently express thoughts using sounds emanating from the vocal cords was not available to "ordinary" people.
Misunderstanding value
Now children simply do not appreciate the fact that they have the opportunity to study for free, to absorb information about the world around them, when earlier many were ready to go to schools many miles away just to draw on something not quite like paper with a piece of charcoal or a pencil stub.
Why do you need a language, and why is it worth spending ten years on learning, if in the end you write to a girl"Hi, how are you"? It is also upsetting that the Russian language, like a magnet, attracts foreign words that sit tightly in it and even crowd out the original expressions. Why do we need the Russian language, in which one constantly hears "okay", "troubles", "girl", etc.? No one is worried about the purity of their native speech, but nevertheless this should make every speaker think.
