Now more than ever before, we are seeing a diversification of not only individuals, but languages as well in the world. One nation in particular, the United States, is living up to its nickname of a melting pot as we are seeing numbers in the millions of incoming foreigners from all over the world, seeking to get a piece of the educational and capitalistic benefits that exist in this country. California, Texas and the west coast are seeing an influx of South Americans, the east coast and Florida are seeing a rapid increase of not just caribbeans and islanders, but now we are seeing Middle Eastern refugees arrive as well. What these share in common is not their ethnic background, but the fact that they are bi or even multilingual.
Why is this? Well for starters, for someone looking to enter and start a new life in a foreign country, it would be seemingly difficult to make their way around by speaking their native tongue. Due to this, they arrive with a skill set that demonstrates partial fluency in English as well as proficiency in their native home language. Having a skill set like this automatically makes these individuals an easier hire in the business sector. Not only can they communicate with customers in English, but now as well they have added an additional language to their resume, decreasing and removing any language barriers by a significant margin!
Now here’s where the importance of learning a second language comes in, by adding this skill, you can increase your potential to communicate with foreign individuals in the millions, that’s more than a reason enough for an employer to have their eye on you.
