There are cultural reasons for learning a language of another country: it helps one understand its culture. It is a fundamental truth that cultures define themselves through languages, and language becomes a peephole look at the nation’s culture, its traditions and its history. Italian film director Federico Fellini says, “A different language is a different vision of life”. It is only when one perceives something the way it is expressed, he/ she can be said to have “understood” the expression. Seen like that, learning a language is almost comparable to a journey of discovery. Conversely, to lose a language is to lose a whole culture. This realization has led to determined efforts to preserve minority languages, including, for example, in Britain, the renaissance of the Welsh and Gaelic languages. There are similar widespread efforts in Britain to promote community languages, for example providing application forms in Urdu or other languages.
If one wants to realize art and literature expressed in other languages, one has to know the languages. True knowledge of a language only can lead to an exact interpretation of a literary work that has been done in a foreign language. Original form of an expression is often lost in its translation, that is why true appreciation of art and literature is possible on accessing it in the language of its own.

Washington, DC is the capital of the United States of America. It is situated in the mouth of the Potomac River, in the District of Columbia (DC), not belonging to any state. The city is unique in its own way – it was specially designed as the capital of the USA. The architect, who drew up the plan of the city, Pierre L’Enfant, wanted it to be very convenient. The place for the capital was chosen by the first president, George Washington, and in 1800 the Government moved there.
There are a lot of Governmental offices, but probably the best known, as well as the most important for the country’s life are the White House and the Capitol. The White House is the official residence of the President of the United States. It was built in 1799. It is a three-storeyed house where the President and his family live. At the same time it is the place where official receptions are held and the administration gathers for the meetings. The Capitol is the seat of the Congress.
The city of Washington, DC is rather large and very beautiful, being at the same time different from all the other cities in the USA, because there are no skyscrapers. According to the law, no house in Washington, DC must be higher than the Capitol.
Washington, DC has the population of about 900,000 people. Being the administrative centre of the country, it doesn’t have any industry. There is a lot to be seen: Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Library of Congress, the Washington Monument and much more.
