We live in a world that is becoming more connected than ever. With the evolution of the internet and transportation, it's no longer impossible to reach the far corners of the world. The world has changed so much in the past century. So have the demands of the job market. We are no longer living in isolation which means that becoming a global citizen is vital to surviving if you plan to grow outside of where you grew up.

So, if you desire to work abroad, what is the one thing that you can learn to make yourself more marketable? Ah-ha! Did the lightbulb go off in your head? Well, learning a language can put you up there in the ranks.

Being able to communicate in another language boosts your resume and makes you super attractive to many areas of life. But what else can knowing another language do for you? What skills can you perform using your second language? Let's explore it, shall we?

Memorization Skills

When you're learning a second language, memorizing becomes your day job. You also develop a knack for spaced repetition, a memory hack that focuses on the most difficult information first and the easiest for the last. You use this often when flashcards. The memorizing techniques you use with languaging learning can benefit you in other areas of your life, such as studying or recalling important information.

Listening Skills

Listening is another crucial language skill to build, which you should focus on in foreign language study. Believe it or not, having strong listening skills in your second language can help you in your first language. It will also makes you a more effective communicator in a variety of situations.

Problem-Solving Skills

Learning a language is all about decoding word meaning and letter sounds. It's also about making sense of what you are reading or speaking. There will definitely be times where you can't express yourself very well in your second language. One of those times might be a dire emergency when you need to get help right away. Therefore you have to be clever and think on your feet about different ways to say something. And that's a skill that you learn when you acquire a second language. You can get around ways to say something even if you don't have all the vocabulary for it.

Social Skills

There's no doubt that if you want to learn a second language, you have to fling yourself out to the deep end to learn it. You have to put all your inhibitions and fears behind you to get good at it. That means putting yourself into social situations with other native speakers. Once you do this, your learning will surely accelerate. After you have the confidence to talk to a group of people with whom you don't share a common language, your confidence will literally soar. You won't care about looking stupid anymore. It's important to build these kinds of socials skills which will help you in many different settings.
