The importance of languages
The English language is still the first choice for many people who want to start learning a new language and it is for good reason because it has become a main foundation for all people who are interested in business, diplomacy or popular culture.
The English language is currently spoken by more than 1.5 billion people around the world and it will increase every year. This figure is remarkable since the language has become the most spoken in the world and vital for anyone who wants to have a promising future.
But not only English is the one that will open the doors for us in the world of work. There are four languages that predominate to achieve a secure future in the company you want so much.
Mandarin Chinese and German are two of the most important languages in the business world and anyone who wants to get involved in the economic and commercial sector.
Both languages being mother tongues of Asian and European countries that have large numbers of importing and commercial companies in the world. But Portuguese, Spanish and French are not far behind since these three are equally important in the social and work world.
Whether in the political, diplomatic or tourist sphere, these three languages are ideal for students to have other learning strategies.
Spanish, being the official language of 21 countries, is also one of the official languages of the United Nations (UN) and the European nation (EU).
It is important to highlight that it is not enough to learn a language to only pass subjects, semesters or to communicate with foreigners. Languages help us to improve both in the personal, social and work spheres, since thanks to them many doors are opened to experience situations that will help us learn to be better human beings.
