[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Knowing a foreign language for any practical purpose is rapidly becoming useless. The new Airpods come with a foreign language translation feature. It's buggy...but like all technology it will get better and within 5 years it will be really good to excellent. I believe there are studies that learning a language is great for brain development and makes you smarter in other areas...not sure how reliable they are. We all benefit from being native English speakers because English is the language of business internationally (both spoken and written).[/quote] Learning a language is primarily a key to a different culture and civilization. Your ability to ask for a quote or directions to the post office are the things that Airpods will make irrelevant. Being able to enjoy the music of Pablo Neruda's words in Spanish? Nope, not outsourceable. [/quote]
