Languages connect people, enable more career opportunities, and enrich life experiences.
Learning a foreign language can transform any career. And it will lead to amazing adventures along the way.
Specialising in languages can lead to a career travelling the globe as an interpreter, diplomat or foreign correspondent, giving you a front-row seat to watch history unfold.
Almost any career – from finance, to law to engineering – can be transformed by studying a foreign language. Even a basic understanding of a language that is important to your employer can open the door to promotions and prestigious foreign assignments.
Learning languages can be one of the most fun things you can do. You can learn Spanish by talking about football in Buenos Aires; improve your Italian by watching opera in Milan; and perfect your Chinese by exploring the spicy food of Sichuan.
This Strategy has been developed to enable learners communicate effectively and improve their standards of competence in languages and so fulfil our ambition to make Ireland’s education system the best in Europe within the next decade.
