Learning a language, or learning how languages work, can provide a key to the global workplace. In this video a collection of employers and employees outline the benefits that language skills bring to their companies and careers. There is a lot more to language skills than just learning to speak fluently. Inter-cultural communication skills open doors to other cultures and communities, and gives you experience of the world that goes deeper than the average tourist trip.
