Many people talk about how recession has affected the jobs and how companies are moving forward with massive lay offs….well, there is no recession in the foreign language business. Companies are finding out that this new unexplored and under served market will bring the extra income they need. Banks, auto, insurance and other segments are investing on attracting foreign market and customers, therefore, providers of foreign language services are actually experiencing a sudden boom.<\/p>\n

Companies have also been using a foreign language skill to separate who will keep and who will loose their jobs. Just last month more than 50 engineers were laid off in a large NJ construction company, just two remained in a specific sector, due to their ability to speak a foreign language.<\/p>\n

We were talking to a mason who was working next door to ask him to put a railing in our steps and he suggested he would do it in exchange for foreign language services. He ows a house in central\u00a0America and Spanish will help him function better when he is there.<\/p>\n

So if I still haven’t convinced you, look at the numbers, 9 out of 10 US large corporations will not consider applicants for a position who don’t master at least one foreign language, CEOs are required to speak two or more languages, the most successful ones, speak between 3 and 4 languages. Children who speak a foreign language excel in tests, reasoning, math and other skills….and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Join me and explore this fascinating world of learning a foreign language.<\/p>\n
