4. Introduction
Language proficiency is highly valued in
today’s global job market, offering
opportunities in fields such as international
relations, translation and interpretation,
education, business, tourism, and more. So,
studying foreign languages enriches
personal growth, fosters empathy and opens
a lot of doors when it comes to finding a job
Studying foreign languages offers a unique
opportunity to develop linguistic
proficiency, cultural understanding, and
a global perspective. There are many
languages and cultures all around the world,
so it becomes an enriching experience as
you learn about other countries, how they
speak and how language and culture are
intertwined
6. Textbook speech won’t get you far
The way everyone speaks in their daily lives is quite
different from the one you’ll find in textbooks:
● Jargon is not static and can evolve over time.
New terms may emerge due to advancements
in technology or shifts in societal norms
● Slang refers to informal words, phrases, and
expressions that are often associated with a
particular social group or subculture
● Their rapid evolving nature is the challenge that
learners of a particular language face
7. Add a sense of familiarity and authenticity, especially in a
specific region or community
These are short, traditional sayings that convey a moral or
practical lesson in a concise manner
Advanced expressions
Phrases or expressions that have a figurative meaning far
from the literal one
Parallelism, repetition or alliteration are just some examples
of this category
Recently-coined words that have found their way into
mainstream language
Words or expressions that create imagery, usually in the
form of metaphors or similes
Idioms
Colloquialisms
Proverbs
Rhetorical devices
Neologisms
Figurative language

15. Some recommendations
Dedicate regular time each day or week to practice the language. Try to make
language learning a part of your daily routine, whether it’s through flashcards,
reading, writing, or listening exercises
Contrary to popular belief, watching movies, TV shows, and listening to music
in the target language can be beneficial when it comes to learning that language.
It helps your senses get used to it, and offers a way to experience actual casual
speech found in everyday situations
