Okay, I'm writing a speech for school. The speech is supposed to encourage people to learn another language and therefore not be monolingual. I live in New Zealand, where we are identified as monoglots (Whether it's true or not varies, but most people with  British ancestory are monoglots).

So... I want your guys's opinion/supportive argument  for learning one or more languages.

To give you a bit of a background idea of languages in New Zealand: everyone speaks English. Unless you were in the bilingual Maori class at school, you learnt a second language at school or from parents, or English is your second language (mainly the case  with immigrants, or people who's parents were immigrants) chances are you only speak English.

Please write your opinions/supportive arguments. I would appreciate it so, so much if you did
