According to Google, we have roughly 6500 languages in the world and all can be learned depending on your choice.
We have English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Phillipines, French etc all of these are important to understand especially when communicating with each other.
When two people come together with different languages, it will be burdensome to understand each other unless you both heard each other's language. Knowing how to communicate in your language with others would aid free and flow communication.
A Spanish man speaking his language to an English man would find it difficult to relay his message unless there is a translator to help him do that so the English man can flow with him. Better still, the English man can learn Spanish so that other times, the communication will go well with both.
Apart from this, we have different languages style that relate to life and one must be attentive and observable to understand so as to interact with each other freely. Among them, we have adult- relationship, child- relationship, academics, work relationship language etc.
ADULT - RELATIONSHIP LANGUAGE
When two people come together and are dating, they are from different background with distinct language. For example, a guy whose language in love is Quality moment and the lady do not know, it will be so hard to understand each other especially when the lady isn't giving him time. Same thing with lady whose language is Word of Affirmation like "you look beautiful", "you have done excellently well", "keep it up" "your outfit looks great" etc.
Words like this would make the lady happy and if as a man you aren't communicating in her language, the relationship won't work unless you come together and understand each other. There must be a balance in things like this so both of you can get to merge both languages together and give it out when necessary.
My love languages are Physical touch (especially kissing 😉) and Words of Affirmation. A man who can't learn my languages can't enjoy me. This will bring issues in our relationship if one of us do not come down to learn and adapt to each other's languages. This is something causing issues in marriage especially as it increases the rate of divorce and making one to be a single mom or dad. At least before you venture into marriage, this is why dating or courting is compulsory as a stage before the real moment which is marriage. You have to get to know your language first and then your partner would learn it and there would be free flow of communication without any issues.
CHILD - RELATIONSHIP LANGUAGE
When a child's love language tank is empty, it will really affect the child psychologically and most especially academically. A child who is wanting Quality Time and isn't given, will end up being lonely and isolated when he or she grows up and this can even cause depression to such a child.
A child whose language in love is Buying Gifts and as a parent, you don't understand this, when the child gets to school or goes somewhere and see other people about his age are having things bought for them, the child will feel unhappy within himself. There is nothing you can do to make him happy even if you are satisfying him in other areas, he still won't be happy. This is why parents should always observe their children to know their languages and adapt to them. Doing this would definitely make such child happy.
ACADEMICS LANGUAGE
What do I mean here? We all have different lecturers who have different style and language they communicate to every student.
A lecturer may come into the class and tell you his own way of marking. When he explains, he want you to give him answer relating to how he has explained it and some lecturers might say "don't give me word to word, write in your own words". If such student go against the language, do you think he or she would pass? The lecturer won't be happy if you communicate in writing against what he has told you. As students, it is important to observe and learn your lecturer's language so as to have good grades after examination.
WORK LANGUAGE
You were being interviewed and told to resume work on a particular day. All rules have been given by the employer including your time of resuming daily. As an employee, you arrive late to the office, what do you think would happen? Your boss will get angry with you because you haven't learnt to adapt to the language at work which are the rules laid down for you.
There won't be any problem if you come to learn a particular language especially when you don't know it.
Why do you think disunity happen in every spheres of life? It is because of Language. When they aren't communicating in the same language, cooperation would be null and before you know it, there will be disorganization.
Let me end with this story in the Bible when people were building a Big Tower to reach Heaven. At first, they were in unity and things were going fine until God was angry with them and decided to confuse them. What did God used? "Language". There was a barrier with each other's language and they stopped working because they couldn't continue and do not understand themselves again. (Genesis 11:1-9)

I completely agree with this. I have a lot of acquaintances and good friends with whom I can communicate using English. And how much I'd have lost if I didn’t know English. Now there are different ways to learn a language, but online learning is the best option for me. In addition, now there are platforms such as Promova, where there are english tutors for adults. So far this is what I consider the most convenient way.
