Polyglotes = Professional Progress

Now at days, it is very important to know more than one language in order to survive, but if you want to have a good progress in this globalized world, economically talking, you have to know more than three languages. But Why? Very easy, because it’s easier to manage information, you can specialized yourself in a good college from other country (let’s say we are Mexicans and we went to France to get a master’s degree.) You can share information; it is also said that when a person knows more than two languages, he has more abilities to learn (whatever information is needed to be learned), and it has many other benefits.

As the world is in a period, in which it is globalizing. Therefore it is important to break those barriers to understand each other and have a better “communication”; and in order to understand each other we need to know about the different cultures in the world and we also need to know several languages, maybe not all of them but the most important ones and the most spoken ones (English, Spanish, French, Chinese, German, and so on).

But how do I choose those languages? Well it is important to know which language will help us in our professional future, for example: if you want to be a engineer, you will have to have interest in German because Germany has a lot of progress in this area. Another important factor is how many people speak the language because you will not like to learn a language that only one city speaks. You need to be interested in the languages that many nations or people, depending on the case, speak; for instance: English or Chinese.

And always remember that knowing (and speaking) more than one language will open you many doors!
