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.
