LEARNING another language will make you have money in the near future. Teaching English alone as a second language is one way to become rich. It’s so easy to become a tutor of the English language. All you need to do is attend three academic semesters in learning English as a second language. The first phase is the beginner’s stage, the next one is the intermediate stage and the last one is the advanced stage.

Once you have accomplished all these, you can now become a mentor of the English language to your countrymen. You can even tour to other countries and be an English teacher. The Philippines is a country where Tagalog is the main tongue. But English is used here as a second language. That’s why there is a Filipino teacher right now who is known in China as an English teacher. That entails a lot of profits.

Yet, English is just one language that people are fascinated learning. In the Philippines, lots of Americans, Canadians, English, Irish, Australians, French, Germans, Israelis and Middle Easterners want to learn Tagalog in preparation to wed their Filipino wives here. But since the Philippines are an archipelago with very diverse dialects such as Cebuano and Maranao, there are ultimately language schools here which cater to the different dialects.

These language schools do not just offer language programs; they also serve as hospitality schools-cum-travel agencies. They organize study tours to the various places around the locales of whatever countries they are located. Take for instance, the Philippines. The language school will offer excursion programs towards Boracay and Baguio City. The trend in Indonesian language schools is to organize trips toward Bali. In Israel, the trend in language schools there is to organize trips to Haifa. Language schools are such a profitable business that bankruptcy is never heard of in this industry.

If you’re not interested to form your own language school, there are other alternatives that you can pursue. If you’re an English language teacher, you can go to Hollywood and become an English dialogue coach for other actors and actresses who do not know English that much. You are Hollywood-based but many of these productions occur in non-English speaking countries such as Morocco. In these instances, the students will be the extras in the production. Some are even the actors and actresses themselves who are all in Moroccan descent. Or maybe there is another Hollywood production that is held in Germany or China and the actors and actresses involved are all non-English speakers. So there needs to be a Hollywood dialogue coach to direct them.

There are other ingenious ways in capitalizing learning a foreign language. For instance, you are a businessman from Japan and you have interests in France. So you need to study and enroll yourself in a French language school. Just like other language courses, the French language program also involves several stages such as the beginner, the intermediate and the advanced stage. So what are you waiting for?

Think about how learning a language can give you contacts (you can get to know at least twice the number of people you could before!) and so incorporate this whilst learning the language itself - social activities which give you the chance to practise your speaking/listening/writing which you can also enjoy, it won’t seem like you’re learning! Say you organise a poker night with friends, you can speak in the target language all the way through whilst speaking in Spanish, say, playing the juegos de casino…you might see yourself becoming rich before you’ve even taken advantage of the language! It’s a fun game and certainly not a laborious way of learning and practising a language - none of the reading piles of grammar books for sure!

Learn another language today and be rich.
