FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Assalamu Alaikum.

Our web site visitor Mr. L.T. Ibraheem, from China has sent the following message.

“You are doing a great service to our community by updating and giving good information. Let your thoughts be success for many more years. I suggest the following:

Since India is becoming economically strong and the analysts predict that it will be No:3 in 15 years and No:2 in 35 years in world economy, we have to prepare ourselves to take part in the forth coming years.

I read in a newspaper that there will be a strong need for people who speak foreign languages such as Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, German and French in near future due to the business environment. So I suggest our community young people to learn and know about any of the above languages to prepare for good times ahead.- Ibraheem L.T.”

Thank you L.T. I fully agree with you. Our people who are already abroad, especially in Gulf countries, may not be able to study the above languages. However, they can benefit from free online tutorials on the language of interest to them. Definitely, those countries must be giving free online tutorials supported by hard copies and CDs to promote their languages. Loyola College had French and German for the benefit of their students. But the students had to go to the embassies of the respective countries to learn. Our community youngsters who are in metro cities like Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi etc. should contact the respective embassies to learn these languages suggested by Mr. LT. It is worth taking pain to widen your language base and spread your wings globally.
