Language is really the bridge to your culture, so if you really want your child to experience and embrace the same culture and background that you experienced as a child or the heritage. The language is really going to give them that door, that access to it. They can travel and more about it. Language transmits love and culture. There are certain things that we are just more at ease saying in a different language. Not only that, it's just going to open up the world for them. We live in a global society and interconnected society. The more people they are going to be able to interact with people and learn more about the world.
