Your feed must already be spammed with tips to spend your lockdown well. You might already have plans for your unprecedented long holidays. But have you considered learning a new skill? Of that, have you considered learning a new skill that could make you employable?
You are on this page probably because you are looking forward for a new job or education abroad once this pandemic gives us air to breathe. So, why don’t you invest the time it gave you to reinforce yourself for the vision you have?
A good grasp of a foreign language is always handy when you look for a new job, especially when you aspire to travel abroad. A little German could give you a head-start to being employed in Germany, and a little French could boost your employability in France. More than just being employable, as you might have heard a million times, a new language is a path to another whole new world. Nothing is as enriching as a new language when it comes to exploring the world and the multitude of cultures in it.
Don’t roll your eyes. It’s not as difficult as the internet shows you. Look at the right place, and language learning becomes a fun activity as it goes. Learning a language on your own is not an impossible task, but learning it with people is even better. Like any other skill, you can hone your language skills only by using it regularly. Get guided by experts and get to converse with people of different skill levels.
This world was challenging enough, and the pandemic has made it worse. Yes, we are traversing a very bad time, but this is also a great time to make ourselves better. Prepare yourselves for the good times ahead! So why wait? Stay safe, enhance your employability!
