A few days ago I had the chance of being linked a video in which they
mentioned that the youth and adults of this day and age are part of the ¨bridge
generation¨ because we’ve transitioned from the analog era to the digital
world. No other generation has been asked to learn so much in so little time.
Everything has been reinvented, not only has there been technological changes
but also social changes, political, cultural, changes in business models,
there’s changes in communication and it’s precisely there where I’d like to
place a particular emphasis on the importance of languages nowadays.
It’s imperative to understand and master your own language. Being able
to express yourself clearly in both written and oral form, understanding all
kinds of texts, and being able to understand what a speaker is saying. Sounds
challenging, doesn’t it? Now imagine having all of these abilities in a foreign
language, or in a second language, your field of opportunity would be
significantly wider, you’d be able to work just about anywhere. If you only
just look for information on the internet about your field of interest the
options you have increase exponentially if you speak English, a better
lifestyle, not to mention cultural enrichment, are benefits only attainable
through learning a foreign language.
It’s worth mentioning that learning English is so accessible, but the
truth is that it requires effort, time, consistency, and a real inversion. But
it is also true that those things that require the most effort are often the
most rewarding.
It must sound tiring, especially when learning another language is not
your forte, but everything is hard at the beginning. Start by choosing a
prestigious institution with experience and in a convenient location where you
can begin your adventure into language learning.
