Knowing multiple languages has always been appreciated in India as it’ll strengthen your chances to get job interviews. Companies are giving importance to multilingual individuals because they can be posted in any country without much hassle. Indians, in general, tend to migrate to English speaking countries like the US and UK which results in them learning new languages to fit in. 

Students and workers migrate to these countries to study, work and secure citizenship. Sensing an opportunity, numerous language training centers have opened up in the last few years, charging exorbitant fees due to lack of tutors.

More job opportunities

Being multilingual opens up a large number of job opportunities. Sectors like Defense, IT, BPO, teaching, translating and tourism are some of the most valuable well-earned jobs. As Indian companies are going global, they need people who can communicate in their clients’ mother tongue to increase the business prospects and build a strong rapport.

Many universities in India now offer full-time language courses as they sense the demands and prospects that can be gained from this degree.

Higher income

 As companies often select certain employees for promotions or routine transfers, multilingual employees are usually their first preference. It’s simple; if you know French, a company can quickly transfer you to France or other French-speaking countries. 

Recruiters always keep these additional details in mind while hiring candidates. Apart from work experience, having taken extra courses also matters. Therefore, if you can master any of the foreign languages like French, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese or Mandarin to name a few, then you have a higher chance in securing a well-earned job. It adds flair to your qualifications and gives you a competitive edge over other candidates as companies look for employees who are versatile and can adapt to any environment. 

Knowing the local language of a particular country will not only help you to communicate, but makes doing business, using emergency services and instructing people much easier.  

Earning in offshore destinations and foreign currencies will help you to have a better lifestyle because as we all know, living in a high-income country allows you to access multiple avenues of business, healthcare and other benefits.

Getting citizenship is easier

Citizenship laws in several countries prioritize those who have a basic understanding and speaking capacity of the local language. Getting accustomed to the culture is essential for a new citizen and that is why most countries stress on that aspect.

For example, getting Canadian citizenship is easier if you know both English and French. Also, communicating with the locals, from cab drivers to a bartender, will give you the upper hand because you know their language. Relationship building also becomes easier.
