There is no specific experience required before starting language learning. Learners should have an interest in the language at hand and a willingness to commit to the time needed to learn the new language. People who work in the environment where the language being studied is spoken may have an easier time picking up the language than others. Excellent listening skills are a must, as well as organizational and reading comprehension skills.
People who desire to speak a second language are best suited for language learning. Language learning is about broadening your horizons and finding ways to communicate with people you may not have been able to engage with before. If you travel to other countries, language learning can help you navigate not only a workspace but restaurants, hotels, and other daily arrangements. People who want to improve communication skills, send clearer emails, and feel confident speaking to colleagues are great candidates for language learning.
The most common career path for someone in language learning is teaching English as a second language. This rewarding career path is a great way to effectively teach learners how to confidently read, write, and converse in a second language. The next gradual step for more advanced speakers is a career as a translator working in a business, hospital, courtroom, or school.
Cross-cultural communication skills can teach you not only vocabulary and grammar rules but also how to effectively use tone and style in both written and spoken communication. Finance and economic language courses may teach you to effectively craft an email, give a presentation, and write reports using vocabulary and language skills commonly used in financial settings. Media literacy courses may help you navigate both traditional and social media with a focus on advertising and the meaning of bias. If you want to delve even deeper into media literacy, topics that explain journalism may help language learners understand how and why news stories are written by digging into the principles behind the research and writing of the news today.
