Getting a job abroad, if you’re planning to, will and can never be easy. It is not enough to just know a language or two like English and whatever the language or dialect you are currently using. Learning more than 2 languages will give you a plus to get your desired job. I seriously know for a fact that learning them is not as simple as it looks – it takes time, effort and motivation to learn and to love them.
I will be moving for Dubai in 2 weeks from now, and I am rushing to learn the language of the Arab nations. Self-study is the most difficult thing to do with regards to learning foreign languages because for two reasons; one, I don’t exactly know how to pronounce the words and phrases that I am reading; and two, the complexity of the way the alphabet is written makes it more difficult for me to learn the language.
But I didn’t worry much at all. Free translation isn’t that helpful to me, so to make my agony short, I looked for some Arabic translation on the internet where I could send them an article or any of my personal writings and have them translate in Arabic.
Well, I’m not limiting myself to learning the Arabic language. I also want to learn Spanish, French, Japanese, Singaporean, Korean, and many others. I also want to learn Hindi, so i'll be needing a Hindi translation or a Farsi translation as well. It might be late for me to start learning but it isn’t too late yet. I still have time to make it and I am now more than willing to do it.
