Before enrolling in any of the foreign language course, the student must ask himself; does the prospect of being multi lingual appeal him? Does the idea of fluency in foreign languages entice him? In case, the answer is in yes, well, then, here's some good news for the likes of him/her.

It has become a highly paying profession over the last few years. The prospects are really bright for the people fluent in foreign languages. With a large number of foreign companies having established themselves in India and other Asian countries quite successfully, the demand for multi lingual professionals is rapidly and continually increasing.

What are the prospects after learning a particular foreign language? Anyone may ask. Well, to begin with, many. If one is proficient in the language and wants a secure and laid-back job, he/she could opt for a central government job as an interpreter or one could join a travel agency or a hotel as a tour guide to earn a hefty pay packet. If that doesn't catch one's fancy, then he can opt for being a translator cum interpreter. He will have to translate official and business documents and also to be the interpreter for official delegates. The openings are innumerable.

Many Institutes, Govt as well as Pvt in India offer courses  in foreign languages, Jawaharlal Nehru University  New Delhi in India is considered to be the pioneer in foreign language courses.
It offers 3 years degree courses in many languages such as Japanese, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Persian and even the Greek.

The University offers a Bachelor's degree in languages. Consequently, one can go on to a Master's or a Ph.D in the same language. The institute has language laboratories to hone the spoken skills.
The course is quite exhaustive, covering oratorial, written and reading skills alongside a history of the language.
Courses in foreign languages are also offered at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, New Delhi and Central Institute of Foreign Languages, Hyderabad, India.  University of Delhi also offers part time courses in foreign languages.

Translators and interpreters earn a lot and are always in demand. One could make a fortune by being a tour guide wherein he takes batches of foreign tourists to exotic locales, both inside and outside India. A course in Mountaineering or Adventure Sports is advisable if one chooses to opt for this job.
One could join foreign airlines or hotels also.

Amongst all foreign languages, Japanese is considered to be the highest paying and perhaps the most difficult language of all.

French is essential for people who want to work in foreign MNCs.

Since German technology has become an indispensable  part of Indian industry, German holds a lot of scope.
So, anyone who  has  a penchant for the languages, pick any foreign language that catches his/her fancy, master it, shrink the globe and soon he/she could be climbing the ladder of success in his/ her very work field!

Learning-To-Learn: The Imperative Skill for Future Learning to Earn is a very common phrase which we have heard in the era of 19th century but the changes as well as transformations in every field has made this phrase out dated. But, for me, it needs to be altered and the word EARN should be replaced by LEARN. Hence now it is the need of the hour to call it as learning to learn rather learning to earn. Learning to learn is the most essential skill for future. If you know how to learn then that will surely guide you towards how to earn and prosper better in life. In this 21st century era we need to be updated about the latest happenings & developments around us.
