or foreign, especially in today’s era where communication has reached its peak and the world
has become a smaller place. As globalisation takes a toll on the youth, an increasing number
of youngsters are inclined towards learning foreign languages.
Today, various institutes and universities are offering a number of courses in languages,
among them foreign languages like German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin are
now gaining momentum.
“Learning a new language is not only interesting but also increases one’s knowledge about
the culture and lifestyle of the people of that specific country,” says Samashkri , a first year
BA student who is learning Spanish. Some students also learn languages to make a career in
the field of translation and interpretation. Kiran Kumar, a second year BCom student is one
such example who wants to have a fulfilling career in the field of interpretation. “Languages
have always interested me and so I decided to have a career as an interpreter.”
Learning a foreign language gives students an opportunity to appear for international
examinations like TOFEL, JLPT and DELE etc. Career options in the field of translation are
plenty. Due to growing economic relations between India and various countries of the world,
knowing a foreign language gives one the much-needed edge. With various MNCs hiring
translators and interpreters, this is a fast growing field. “Being a translator can be an
interesting job as you connect with various people of the world and there is an exchange of
cultures and ideas from people all across the globe,” says Anuradha Vaidya, an Italian
translator. Besides, many international schools now need teachers who can teach foreign
languages to students. “Japanese, is gaining importance as a foreign language and can be the
next language that will be taught to students in schools after French and German,” feels
Tomoko Terada, an interpreter.
