Career in Foreign Languages:

Over the years, a large number of people have acquired skills in selected foreign languages mainly French, German, Japanese, Chinese & Russian. The rate for good interpreters in all these languages is as high enough to make good money.

.

Job Overview: Translator's job involves translating the written material which can be in the form of general correspondence, instructions, technical data, catalogues, political speeches or even books. The interpreter's job on the other hand is bit more difficult and requires much thorough knowledge of the language.

Work Area: The scope of the work area is wide. It could be in hotels and the tourism industry. It could be in mass communication and entertainment. It could be with commerce, business and industrial houses. Embassies and diplomatic missions. In addition, it offers an easy passport to work abroad. Then there are many opportunities for private tuitions where rates are good.


Types of Courses: There are basically three types of courses namely, Certificate Course, Diploma course and a degree course. The eligibility criterion for Certificate and Degree courses is 10+2. However, in most of the places, eligibility for Diploma course is the Certificate Course in that language.

No Correspondence Course:

Learning a foreign language is one thing and using it to earn money is another. To earn a livelihood through a foreign language, one has to be constantly in touch with the use of language by reading newspapers, magazines and books. In addition, one has to be in touch with other people who can speak that language to improve speaking skills, understand and appreciate the fines aspects of the language which comes only through speaking and conversation. Such courses should therefore never be done through correspondence.
