When we talk about native speakers, we have first Mandarin with over 1.2 billion people- but there is no doubt of its clout.Spanish stands in front of English Language with about 400 million speakers. About more than 360 million people speaks English and more than 2 billion people speaks it as a second language on a regular basis.Hindi is one of the official language in India.Hindi is mainly spoken in northern parts of India & parts of Pakistan with 570 million native speakers. Over the course of the last century, French is still on eof the most influential language in the world with official language status in over 25 countries.Even though it’s not the primary language & still official in those 25 countries.French is the most popular Lingua Franca after English & is used by many international groups & organisations.
Learning a second language or 3RD is extremely beneficial for social life.It allows you to create & maintain relationships with people who are different than you. A good communication is the key to any good relationship.If you can communicate more than one language you foster this deeper appreciation for people.
It doesn’t matter which career path you want to take, being multilingual is akways an advantage In M.N.Cs or any big organization being multilingual will help you like you’re jack of all trades & that is a very valuable quality.Multilingual are known to be better multitaskers that’s because what’s happening in the brain of a multilingual person is what we call COD SWITCHING.
A journalists role is to contextualize, to report, to try & to be factual, to use stories & to illustarate the human condition .
There can be a symbiotic kind of relationship between citizen journalists, activists, netizens, people on the ground who understand the culture.It will be helpful for those who can understand their language and their life style.
The news sense to find the story is interesting and accurate; the art of storytelling to convey a story to an audience through words and narrative; and good writing skills, seemingly a basic requirement. A multilingual journalist can be more symbiotic and develop relationships with activists and common people. A multilingual can fill that gap that a parachute journalist (some one covers in only when the story is hot or trending ) can not & can not understand the situation properly.
Resarch has found that multilinguals literally see the world differently.
Nelson Mandela once said ‘If you talk to a man in the language he understands that goes to his head, if you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart”.
