  1. 10 promising careers for language enthusiasts

  2. Only a very small percentage of people in this world have mastered fluency in one or more languages. If you belong to this set, then we have 10 career options for you in fields that may find your linguistic skills of great importance and interest you as well, being a language enthusiast.

  3. Translator Translation demands the person to read a text in a language, comprehend it and paraphrase the same in another language such that the meaning remains the same. This piece of text can be a legal document, pharmacological instruction, recipe, manual, guide, etc. Thus, translation involves a full-fledged understanding of a language’s terminology and technicalities. .

  4. Interpreter While translation is written, interpretation is spoken. If you are a good listener and can spontaneously and accurately translate the spoken information, then you can be a successful interpreter. As a professional interpreter, you may engage in different language interpretation services that aim at facilitating a hassle-free communication between two or more parties/clients like patients and doctors, a judge, lawyer and defendant or politicians of two countries.

  5. Teacher Like you, there are others willing to learn a foreign tongue. Teaching is a great career option as one can opt to become a school teacher, a language professor at a college or institute, or a private home tutor. With developments in technology and communication, it is also possible to become an online tutor which is a great means to educate a wide number of people across the globe about different languages and cultures.

  6. Blogger Though you would always hear more experts to keep your ad campaigns unique and creative, there is nothing wrong in peeking into your competitor’s campaigns and copy their keywords. In fact, it is a common practice amongst advertisers to analyse the competitor’s high raking Google ads to find a bunch of profitable keywords to target.

  7. Field work Field work requires interaction with people of an altogether new culture practising different religion, customs, language, etc. Every community has special terms for certain practices which may not have a direct translation in another language. For a better and wholesome understanding of these terms or views of people, field workers are required to learn the language of the community.

  8. Writer and Editor Articles, essays, storybooks, novels, newsletters, etc., are widely available in uncountable languages and dialects. A lot of writers and editors gain a proficiency in a language other than their native one. Many even prefer reading original pieces rather than translations for which they constantly learn new languages. If you are eloquent with words, then this is may be a great option for you

  9. Tour Guide Travel and tourism as an industry is only growing bigger. As a tour guide, if you are well versed with foreign tongues then it is inevitable that you will be able to serve more number of tourists.

  10. Public Relations If communication is your key, then you can certainly try for a public relations degree while pursuing a language course simultaneously. The two complement each other and will benefit in the long run.

  11. Customer Care Globalisation and liberalisation have led to a market of outsourced goods and services. Many foreign companies base their customer care centres away from the home country. These companies hire employees who already have a command over the language of the target audience or can acquire it through training.

  12. Freelancer Freelancing allows you to take up different and diverse projects. You can also partner with companies or NGOs as mediators and interpreters or can write and translate for them. While freelancing does not have a job security per se, it does give a freedom of choice.

  13. We hope these options broadened your scope and willingness to learn a language. So, get on board and build a thriving career in the linguistic industry.
