I would rather be fluent with languages than communicating with animals for many reasons, although I would not diminish communicating with animals because I really love cats. To be fluent with other languages can have positive impacts in life like communicating with other people all around the globe. It's not possible to learn all languages in a lifetime but it's possible to learn to focus in studying several languages that you like or beneficial to you. It can open doors when travelling to another country and you could certainly get a bilingual job in the future. Knowing other cultures can be fun and it makes you an open-minded person. You can also enjoyably watch shows and movies in other languages without subtitles and learn the nuances. They say, you can explore other cultures' delicious food. And they can change your entire being.
