Menguasai berbagai bahasa merupakan suatu kebanggaan tersendiri bagi yang menguasainya, karena dengan bahasa itu seseorang akan mudah berbaur dan mengenal orang asing yang ingin kita kenali,namun berhubung sulitnya belajar bahasa maka setidaknya kita tahu kata-kata penting dalam suatu bahasa,misalnya ucapan terimakasih, karena dengan mengucapkan terimakasih orang yang membantu kita akan merasa senang karena perbuatan mereka dihargai oleh orang lain.
