Welcome to the American English in Medellin video series.
I am Profe Winn at profedeinglesenmedellin. You may contact me by clicking the link below
this video or on the screen. Today in the first video in our series you
are going to learn why you should be bilingual.
Why be bilingual? Colombia ranks 41 out of 44 countries surveyed
by Education First on the ability to speak English.
This is a very low level of proficiency. This is a also big opportunity for you!
One reason to be bilingual is that multilingual workers are in high demand by companies because
of the global economy. English is the most important language of
international business today. Think. If you speak both Spanish and English,
you can communicate with over 1 billion people in the world!
That's awesome power for you.
A second reason to be bilingual is greater career opportunities (and money!).
Companies value employees who can speak more than one language.
If you can speak another language, you are more likely to get a promotion.
And yes, employees with more responsibilities often make more money.
So, overall, speaking English is a great way to get a better job.
