The Benefits of Dual Language Learning

Real-World Application
In the global marketplace, the ability to speak more than one language instantly makes a person more sought-after. Compared to monolinguals, those that speak another language have the edge when job seeking, as they have more skills to offer their potential employers. As more and more businesses attempt to become international, the need for skilled multilinguals has increased. Not only are these individuals more desired, but those entering the workplace that have fluency in another language can expect to make more as well.
