Language is Important

Language is very important in any culture. A language does far more than just enable people to communicate with each other. Language, of course, is knowledge, and in our world today knowledge is one of the key factors in competitiveness.

As my own experience in the country of Canada, I’m working there as a caregiver. I am not aware that they have 2 languages the English speaking and the French. One day I have a patient who spoke French and I really don’t know how to translate his word. I ask the help of our supervisor because I don’t know what my client talking about. After that, my supervisor told me to go to her house after my duty. She told me that besides of being a supervisor in the hospital she is also one of those professional translators and her job is do a translation of different languages. She advises me to practice the different languages because it is very important to our job.
