Hey, have you been
noticing this change, a change that is bringing this world closer and at a pace
never ever seen before? Yes. I am talking of the change as a result of
globalization.
Globalization, no
wonder is triumphing in bringing people and cultures together for the
good of humanity. When globalization is becoming a reality, this reality
demands from all stakeholders to put more passion into believing the
concept “when you are in Rome, be a Roman”.
Learning each
other’s culture and languages has become the need of the hour for us
to empathize and appreciate each other’s way of living. Imagine you
are an employer of the Japanese organization working from outside Japan.
How awesome and impressive it would be if you manage to converse with
your Japanese peers in Japanese! You would be under good books
for sure.
Imagine getting
a scholarship and admission calls from the best universities because
you are bilingual. Absolutely the dream come true, isn’t it?
Imagine speaking
in Spanish when you are on a South American tour. You would certainly make
your jaunt more comfortable and memorable.
Imagine reading
and appreciating French arts, movies and poetry that are
considered to be the finest on the planet.
Imagine speaking,
reading and writing in English. For sure, you will be a good candidate to get
your dream job in English speaking nations.
Imagine
conversing in Mandarin with locals in China, savoring their
martial arts, food and culture. What an amazing experience it
would be!
With all these
feelings of awesomeness, learning a new language and appreciating
different cultures bring to the table another set of benefits. Such
as: enhanced cognitive skills and perceptions, enhanced memory and ability to
multitask, improved decision making capabilities.
With all these
gains, who wouldn’t wanna be smarter and successful? If you think, you can make
time to be more global in perception and thoughts, then learning
a foreign language is apt for you.
