Why Learning English Can Help Boost Your Career In Tanzania

Though English is one of the national language after Swahili in Tanzania, most people find it challenging to use it in the country. This is due to fact that the English is not commonly promoted among the local beside being used widely in various institutes including the government too. One of the best ways to differentiate yourself from your competitors in your field is to learn a foreign language - and English is still the best option.

Whatever your goal - stay relevant in your current position, change jobs or do some kind of volunteer work - acquiring a second language will differentiate you from other candidates.

Therefore, mastering the English language is essential for your prosperity at work and for your professional distinction, and can be very useful also for the acquisition of culture.

If you still can not speak English, here are 5 reasons to convince you of the importance of acquiring this ability.

No.1  NEW OPPORTUNITIES ON YOUR WAY

Thanks to our global economy, industries rely heavily on those who have the ability to communicate effectively with their foreign partners and one of the most valuable talents of a professional is possession of a second language or even more.

Having the ability to communicate with professionals from other countries with resourcefulness is to open a door to very valuable opportunities .

Still can not persuade him? See, then, why companies tend to look for professionals who can communicate in other languages.

No.2 LEARNING MORE NEW CULTURES

Mastering a language is much more than simply knowing its morphology, its syntax or whatever: it is understanding the socio-cultural characteristics of those who speak it.

And cosmopolitanism is essential in the globalized world we live in, for as companies expand their horizons across the continents and serve the most diverse populations, the more necessary are the candidates capable of entering into other cultures.

No.3  YOU WILL BECOME MORE CULTO-ELITED

Think with me: you can read international news and articles. You can watch videos and documentaries  that have no subtitles. You can read books without translation. At first it can be difficult, but in time you will enjoy these things. Therefore putting you into a more needed position and talent.

No.4 YOU CAN MAKE COURSES ABROAD

One of the best ways to expand your knowledge and to develop yourself as a professional is through courses, be they in or out of the country. In the second case, speaking, reading and understanding the English language is essential for you to make the most of the course content.

No.5 YOU WILL ENHANCE YOUR MATERNAL LANGUAGE

Some characteristics are essential to every successful professional: the ability to negotiate, creativity, rationality and open-mindedness. These aspects are highlighted when we learn another language.

Studies indicate that learning a language is beneficial both to memory and to the development of our thinking ability .

And more than that, you will also notice an impact on your knowledge of your mother tongue. Your native(Swahili or any other) will improve in terms of vocabulary, logic and speech, which will make you an even more effective communicator, helping you to express your ideas and opinions in a more articulate way, to hold meetings or presentations with more persuasion and communicate better with colleagues and / or customers.

In my final words I would like to encourage my fellow Tanzanians to keep up with English language and learn it more and more, after all it's the most commonly communicative language used worldwide.
