What languages are important for a career?
Investopedia
, a site that gobs of information relating to the economy, lists a few languages that are valuable right now, to learn for your career. It also makes the point that along most skills, it's affected by the law of supply and demand. This means that even though Spanish might be the second most spoken language in the U.S., it might be better on your resume to speak something else. Now, you could go out and learn a bunch of languages and get good at one (maybe), but before you decide to pursue one there are some things to think about. The first one is if it's important for the language to be easy. A couple things you can find out about a language to see if it's easy or not is if it's a Latin Language and if it uses the same script (123...abcd...). It helps to have a language be Latin because some of the words will be similar. But, if you don't limit yourself to easy to learn languages, it's much better because then you can gain insight to many cultures.

this blog seems like a really good to read, I like how you talk about how different languages can help you get a job and possibly a career. I think your right about Spanish being second most spoken language in todays age.
ReplyDeleteThe headline of this post caught my attention because i think it is important to speak different languages if you want to be successful. I like that your post includes a link to the website you wrote about but it would be great if you could be more clear about what languages are important for a career because this is what your headline says the post will be about.
ReplyDeleteI really thin its important to know two languages. it does give you an advantage because it can let you help a range of people who speak different language instead of just English speakers. I really like your blog because it kind of motivates me to want to learn a 3rd language
