Japa with Spanish Language
Yes, that is usually the response we get when this question is posed to someone to maximize the advantage of learning a foreign language. The problem is many have not reasoned beyond the language acquisition. They assume that after gaining proficiency in that particular language there is nothing more to that.
Of late, Spain has been a tourist attraction destination. Yes, before now, we have been hearing of Spain for tourism and other travel purposes, but not like the 'exodus' it received this year with the recent launch of the Jo-Seekers Visa and foreigners from Morrocco trying to cross her border to Spain. I'm sure you saw that on the news and social media. According to news report, over 550,000 Moroccans tried crossing to Spain from the sea. And many lives were lost.
If Spain is not a good country, why would some people take this risk. This is just by the way. Some people have been thinking of the best and seamless way to migrate to Spain without any associated risk, but they have no idea. One of the best ways is learning Spanish.
Well, you don't need to learn Spanish to get a job or go to Spain. But, learning a Spanish language could open a vista of opportunities for you if you could speak the language. I am sure you know that there are manty hospitality industries in Spain and many locals don't really speak English, but if you could speak Spanish, you can easily get a job in this sector.
It is also the same for English Language teachers. There are many international schools in Spain and English language teachers are needed to fill a lot of vacancies ranging from teaching, teacher's assistants, admin managers and non-teaching staff. In most of these school vacancies, they need applicants who are proficient in Spanish language to get these jobs.
Another opportunity is internship. This is one area many applicants from Nigeria have not really maximized. Do you know that you can do your internship abroad especially if you have done short courses like catering and hospitality management, cabin crew, ticketing& reservation, aviation studies and so on? If you have studied any of these courses, you can do start thinking of doing your internship abroad as many tourism, aviation, hotels are ready to employ applicants with these trainings.
Volunteering is another thing you could maximize if you learn Spanish language. Do you know that Spain being an EU country and part of the Schengen zone has a lot of volunteer organizations that will give you volunteer jobs and would pay for your accommodation, medical insurance. flight ticket (on rare cases), feeding and also give you stipend if you can speak Spanish? I am sure you don't know this!
These are just some opportunities you can maximize if you gain a Spanish advantage. Even if you want a better opportunity in Nigeria, there are times opportunities are opened at the Spanish Embassy in Nigeria and some international schools needing Spanish teachers. If you studied Spanish in the university or you Modern European Languages (MEL) and you think that you have wasted your time in the university, I think you are dulling yourself. There are other opportunities like take short courses or vocational programmes in Spain. Do you know that tuitions are cheaper for universities or institutions that offer the courses in Spanish language even for international students. You can get tuition as low as 500 Euros or less. That sounds unbelievable right? But that's absolutely true!
