Top 5 Languages to Learn for Career Advancement in 2024

Here are five languages that can help you get better jobs and grow in your career in 2024:

German: Germany is a big player in Europe’s economy. Learning German can help you find jobs in industries like engineering, manufacturing, and technology. Many big companies prefer people who speak German.

French: French is spoken in many countries. It’s important for jobs in international organizations, diplomacy, and luxury goods. If you’re interested in working in Africa, learning French is also useful.

Italian: Italy is famous for its culture, art, and history. Italian is helpful if you want to work in fashion, design, or food. Italy also has strong industries in manufacturing, especially in machinery and textiles.

Spanish: Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. It’s important for jobs in international business, tourism, and healthcare. Many people in the United States and Latin America speak Spanish, so it’s useful for businesses in these areas.

Dutch: The Netherlands is important for international trade. Learning Dutch can help in jobs related to shipping, logistics, and finance. The Dutch are also leaders in sustainable energy and water management, so the language is valuable in those fields.

Learning any of these languages can help you get better jobs in 2024 and beyond. Pick the one that best matches your career interests!

okay re: my tags on the smartypants post the thing about standardizing the grocery store is that on the most basic level, you will fall into the "there are now 15 sets of standards" problem. but on a more practical level, you can't do it to begin with because there are major regional and cultural differences in both volume of demand for different food products as well as different conceptualizations of those products and their categorical relationships to one another, which is a major part of the reason grocery stores are not standardized in the first place. you also if course run into further trouble if you're considering more culturally specific grocery stores, especially ones with specific dietary requirements, in which case you will REALLY run into the "there are now 15 sets of standards" problem.

but it does pain me, because it has resulted in my biggest day-to-day pet peeve, which is that in Seattle, where there are no Italians, THE ENTIRE ARRAY OF CANNED TOMATOES ARE NOT WITH CANNED VEGETABLES. THEY ARE IN THE ETHNIC AISLE.

today i tried to put a frozen pizza in the oven. it took me twenty minutes because i got waylaid by the box, which had instructions on it in eight different languages, in combination with my brain, which goes ooooooooooh at this under the right wrong circumstances. all of the "preparation" headers were in all caps (TILBEREDNING, PRÉPARATION, BEREIDINGSWIJZE) except the german one (Zubereitung), presumably because they wanted to prove they were correctly capitalizing their nouns? it's adorable. also: none of these eight languages is english, but the box does have phrases like "no flavor enhancers" and "stone baked" on it in english only, which says something, even if it's something every non-english speaker is already intimately aware of. my german is theoretically near native which makes it very goofy that i would absolutely not have known that the germans say "nativ" instead of some variety of "virgin" when describing olive oil. should we take this as a sign that not only does german olive oil not fuck (same as all the other olive oils), but the germans don't even consider they might want to? or does this mean german olive oil is unusually sexually experienced? as so often, the belgians win another "who has their flag printed on this product the most" competition. no one else in this part of the world can keep up with their french-dutch chaos swag, and they didn't even bother putting the belgian flag with the german and austrian ones in this case. as a contrast to the germans: the first two words of the spanish description of what's in this box are "pizza horneada", so, you know. the spanish aceite de oliva may be virgen extra, but the pizza is horny! my sincerest apologies to any spanish speakers. i know that's not what it means, you deserve better. (what happens if you put german olive oil in spanish pizza? do we even dare contemplate the outcomes?) anyway. karma acts swiftly, because do you want to guess what happened to me after all this? after studying this box in absolutely unprecedented detail? yeah. i had to fish it out of the trash to check what temperature to set my oven to.

steve and johnny both know italian (or a bit of it at least) because in my head johnny’s half italian, half latino and steve is like…really fuckin italian, his grandma immigrated from italy and she taught him some before she died when he was about twelve, and johnny picked up on some because his dad would swear/yell at him and his mom in italian, but then he just started trying to learn on his own for fun and because he didn’t want his only knowledge of that language to be from his dad. those two love gossiping behind peoples backs in italian. johnny teaches steve all the swears and stuff and steve helps johnny refine his. but if they wanna talk shit or just mess with the rest of the gang they’ll slip into it. they find it fun

Quick Funfact & tip:

Did you ever realise that different languages use different parts of the mouth/throat to make sounds? Once you realise that and identify where the sound comes from, it gets easier to learn pronunciation!

For example, English is spoken using the back of the throat— while Korean is spoken using the front of the mouth. This might explain why Korean-speakers pout so much while talking ahahah! Give it a try!

[msburgundy]

my beef with ipa comes down to the fact that i simply do not like, conceptually, that there is a contrived writing system intended to capture every single sound in human language. i would much rather just mix scripts (like throwing a fully english word into a korean sentence and vice versa) i UNDERSTAND why we don't (thus i can forgive romanization etc [to a degree]) and i also understand why in academic contexts such a writing system is quite valuable.

in actual life, however, there is simply no need to represent all those sounds, and you're simply better off learning the native scripts of languages whose influence you encounter frequently

Random hcs I have because I may be cringe but I'm free part 27 (Ninjago)

More platonic oppo (but still mostly Kai centric) because their friendship has infected my brain (strap in, it's a long one)

Ok so this one is kind of a mashup of 3 different headcannons, the Chinese Kai hc, the "oppo are best friends" hc, and the one im gonna talk about here that possessed me to write this in the first place, but hear me out-

(Tbh, this could take place at pretty much any point in the series but I usually imagine it somewhere between seasons 4 and 8)

Just take a second to imagine, Kai peacefully going about his life as his proudly bilingual self, until he realizes: outside of Ignacia, its insanely rare to find someone who speaks Mandarin.

This, in turn, sparks two more revelations: One, that just makes the fact that he was born and raised speaking Mandarin all the more cool, and two, that he would have virtually no chance to use/show off his first language with someone other than Nya or Zane, and he would only ever get to use Ninjargon.

This motivates Kai (desperate to keep his spot as one of the most cultured on the team) to learn THREE more languages, those being French, Italian, and Spanish (as any reasonable person would do)

The only person he ever outright tells is Wu (seeing as he's fluent in like every language ever so he's great to practice with) and he mostly keeps it a secret from the others so that he can keep surprising/impressing them by pulling another random language out of nowhere whenever its needed.

What he didn't expect however, was how Zane would react.

Turns out, being a total bookworm and a literal walking computer means that not only does deciphering other languages come easy to Zane, he also absolutely adores studying languages in all their forms. So, when he heard from his friends that the criminal they were supposed to go question didn't know any Ninjargon and that Kai had managed to hold the rather intense interrogation entirely in French, he was beyond delighted. Once he had finished cleaning up after dinner he practically ran to Kai's room to talk, and of course, he immediately insisted Kai do all his explaining in French for the rest of the night.

From that day on, anytime the two of them wanted to have a private conversation and couldn't just pull the other to the side (or, more commonly, if they just randomly felt like it) they would simply start talking in one of the four languages and fall into easy conversation with the other as if they hadn't just simultaneously stopped making sense to anybody else around them.

TL;DR (and the simple seed from which this essay of a hc was born)

Kai talks shit about people to Zane in different languages

Intros/Profiles Part 3/?: Veni, vidi, dictavi [Potential CW for mentions of death and the following grief, as well as brief (albeit fictional) political stuff. Nothing overly detailed/gory, but just in case]

"Ingannamorte" Surname of Italian origin. Translates to "deciever of death" ("inganna"= "to decieve"/"decieves", and "morte"="death".) A rather fitting name for a creature of the night...

The Ingannamortes of Schprekenheim, at least loooooong ago, were the absolute rulers of the land. Being a subtype of vampire known in the area as StrigOwie, they lived up to their name: bring about immense suffering and misery, feeding off of it, and continuing the family name for generations to come.

However, despite the threats of torture, exile, and/or annihilation for any sort of political dissidence, the peasants of the land began to band together and fight back. After several attempts at a coup, the family have since fallen to a more underground, "figure-head"-like status. 

The then-current heads, Havaska and Polaris Ingannamorte, had a full plate on their hands: keeping the power of the family flowing throughout the land (but with a less...heavy-handed approach), other standard royal duties...and now, bringing up the next heir: Syberia (pronounced "Sĭh-Bĕ-reeyah").

For a while, things were actually...relatively okay. Syberia was growing into her role of one day becoming the head of the family...but as she began to learn about her family and the absolute power that they used to hold. She wanted a piece of that pie; none of this "figureheads-who-stand-in-the-background" business. And she was vocal about it. As she grew and had more of a hand in things, she became louder and louder- despite her parents doing what they could to try and quell that fervor.

Then disaster struck.

Havaska, mother to the latest heir of the Ingannamortes, had been murdered. While the "heat" between the royal vampire family and the peasants had disspated quite a bit over the years, a small extremist group wanted to make their mark...by doing what the several coup attempts back then couldn't: getting rid of the vampirs for good. While the group was quashed incredibly quickly (c'mon, you're fighting against vampires; and it wasn't like these guys were professional hunters), the toll it took on the remaining two Ingannamortes. While they grieved, Syberia saw this as an opportunity for them to bring that "iron-fistedness" back into play...but Polaris, her poor old Papa, was heartbroken. No matter how much she tried to convince him, he would not go all scorched earth and bring the entirety of Schprekenheim to heel. This, of course, led to increased tension in the already emotionally-bedraggled household.

...Then a little bit of light entered back into their lives...or, at the very least, Polaris's. A peseant woman known as Cerealia, who had brought it upon herself to continue to plant flowers on the deceased queen's grave, as well as keep the area surrounding area looking nice, was spotted by Polaris. Initially, he was a bit testy (how dare some...some commoner intrude on his land!), but seeing what she was doing, the ice that had come to surround his heart began to slowly melt. For the first time since he lost his wife, he had begun to feel...happy. Syberia, being Syberia, was suspicious. Who was this plebian, and what did her Dad see in her?! She was trying to usurp the throne, she just knew it!!

This, of course, wasn't true. Cerealia had no hidden intentions and genuinely cared about the forlorn king. Though one could argue that this took place very quickly, Polaris and Cerealia were soon married. And eventually, they welcomed another child into the kingdom.

Syberia was furious. Okay, yes, she was still the next in line to rule, but who the hell was this...this half-blood to come in and usurp what was supposed to be her time with her dad?! She wasn't acknowledging that peseant woman as family- even if she now bore the royal last name. But of course, under the treat of being sent away to the lower part of Schprekenheim to live out her life (or at least until she calmed the eff down and worked out her rage and resentment) in, potentially, a tall tower all by herself (almost like a "grounded for life" kind of scenario), Syberia let that hatred simmer. And simmer. And simmer. With her sister, that hatred did occasionally manifest as the standard acts of sibling rivalry, but her..."stepmother", eugh... was understanding, having been one of several siblings herself. However, even with the assurance that both kids were loved equally, it didn't mean she went unpunished for acting the way she did sometimes.

Things were going okay, it looked like.

Until they weren't.

Polaris and Cerealia had mysteriously perished on a trip to another village, as a show of goodwill. Some say that Syberia had a hand in it, but no one can be 100% certain...especially now since she's taken on the role as the head of the Ingannamorte family and will silence anyone who questions her. Playing to the public, she uses the death of her parents as her "reasoning" for bringing back the harshness that the family was once known for long, long ago.

Schprekenheim has been under her dark rule for who knows how long, and S.C.A.R.E. seeks to bring her and her army of monsterous creatures of the night down- to restore some semblence of peace to the region.

Can they do it?

Will she bring the band of freedom fighters to heel and recruit them to her undead army?

And more importantly...where's this sister of hers? She wasn't with the then-king and queen on their trip...she seems to have mysteriously vanished...

----------------------------------------- Syberia Ingannamorte Voice Claim: Eden Riegel

Codenamed "Nightside" by the organization, she is a fierce vampire that has plunged the region into darkness and misery. She is a manipulative creature that will stop at nothing to keep the iron grip she has on the area from loosening. With the passing of her parents and now as the official head of the Ingannamortes, there's nothing getting in her way to stop her....or so she thinks.

But of course, what is a queen without a bit of help?

"Faust" Voice Claim: Steve Valentine

Codenamed "Phantomblade" by the organization, Not a lot is known about this kid. It was shortly after Syberia's parents' passing and the disapperance of her sister that he came into the picture.

Acting as the confidant to the new ruler, 'Faust' does what he can to maintain order and acts as a "one man band"- directing creature hordes to deter any do-gooders, directing who keeps watch over the Ingannamorte hold, acting as Syberia's bodyguard and informant, among other roles. In short, Faust would give his life to save Syberia. ...He...doesn't exactly have the choice to not. At least, not anymore. That half-face burn (covered by the half-face mask) had to come from somewhere after all...

Wait French grammar is close to Spanish????

Oh man

I think I officially tagged out when we got to the conjugation of verbs in indirect speech. I had Spanish in school and I was fine before that and then it just got wayyyy too much

lmaoooo rip anon

yeah French/Italian/Spanish/I think Portugese too? and a few others latin language, are all built on the same latin root logistic so the grammar works very similarly.

i picked on Italian in middle school but it's more the vocabulary that never stuck, and i picked up Spanish at uni, but same, didn't really stick.

though it means also i can somewhat read Spanish/Italian ahah

Like, English is simpler in term of just writing/grammar. (English's real challenge for Latin rooted language is the fact it's a tonal language, compared to French that's syllabic. Means English's accentuation of the words tend to focus on one syllab as the center of the word to pronounce but the rest will be muted. But that's also something i know English speakers don't realize, hell, i didn't realize either until i started to study English Linguistic and suddenly it made sense why, if you're from a language with more focus on syllabic, English comes off way harder. Point is that the real challenge for a Latin rooted language will be more on prononciation than on grammar. ) So it is easier to pick up when you don't have a native english background, but English to other language will be more challenging.

Conjugaison in French/Spanish/Italian follow similar logistic even in term of how many exceptions you have to remember. mostly because we slap everything on the suffix of the word. English will use modal words to mark various level of intentions, except in past tense. And in French/Spanish/Italian the suffix are also influenced by which pronoun is used (in Italian at least there's also the fact you can drop the pronoun all together if the verb is clear enough in its conjugaison about who you're talking about). And there's also the whole "the language is inherently more gendered so any attempt at a neutral comes with its lot of problem to discuss".

ironically despite being called Latin languages, this specific conjugaison rule doesn't apply to Latin itself, which has the same basis as German: the suffix aren't influenced by the pronouns, but by the role the word has in a sentence.

I picked up a bit of latin in middle school, didn't stick as well but i remember this sticking out.

English is just.... drastically simpler in the sense that conjugaison is stripped to its bare minimum and the pronouns use will do the heavy lifting in a different way. It's just that English is also working on difficult phonetic rules that aren't instinctive to follow, but yeah.

so yeah. rip you anon o7

Why I Started This Blog

Growing up, personal circumstances forced me to learn multiple languages at a very young age. But instead of feeling like a burden, I discovered how fun it was!! Over time I became really passionate about languages, but my parents never supported it. They wanted me to study “useful” subjects and saw language learning as a waste of time. Since I couldn’t rely on their help, I had to figure out how to self-teach everything on my own, and I refused to give up on my love for languages (even while constantly being told to just drop it.)

When I graduated, I finally decided to take language learning seriously, but since I still live under my parents' roof, I can’t spend money on “useless courses.” One day, while searching for free resources, I realized how frustrating it was—so much content is locked behind paywalls (capitalism hey!) and finding quality free material takes exhausting hours. I said to myself "How I wish there was a site for self teaching languages with a list of free resources!!" That’s when it hit me: why not create the blog I wish I had??

I started this blog because I know I’m not the only one in this situation. I wanted to create a space where self-taught learners, especially those who can’t afford expensive courses, can find free resources and study tips. Everything is still new, I haven't seen anyone do this yet... and I’m still learning how to manage this, but I hope this blog can be a helpful and supportive place for others who love languages as much as I do!!
