January 17th, 2012 Nick

Learning a new language is certainly one of the most rewarding things you can do, the sense of achievement once you have an understanding of a new language, or better still become fluent, is enormous.

Top Tips On Moving To Spain!

January 3rd, 2012 Nick

Planning a life-changing move to Spain…here’s my personal views on what’s most important.

Moving to Spain does not have to be as daunting as many people think it is, with the right planning and the right steps taken it can be as smooth as moving round the corner. People often wait till retirement age to make the move, and whilst this a great way to spend your later years, the resources are also available for younger people to take advantage of all this wonderful country has to offer and build a great life working in Spain as well.

My top tip is to take the time to learn Spanish in Spain, especially if you intend to start a business or look for employment, job opportunities will dramatically increase if you can speak the language, as will business opportunities. Even for those not looking to work, speaking Spanish will ease the settling in process, making the move abroad is obviously a stressful period so in my opinion you should do all you can to make acclimatising to your new community as straight-forward as possible. Understanding the local culture, appreciating cultural expectations is all made is easier by speaking Spanish…please don’t be one of those people who move to Spain and keep themselves separate from the locals, what makes Spain special is the locals, so you are sure to miss out if you choose not to get involved with them and their way of life.

As well as taking advantage of language schools Spain, if you are planning to look for work, my advice to you would be to find rental accommodation initially then maybe look for something more permanent once you have the security of full time employment. The last thing you want to do is throw all your savings into a long term investment then find you have no income from employment to live on. This also gives the flexibility of trying different areas of Spain; you may find the job opportunities are better elsewhere. There are a wide variety of rental properties all across Spain.

If you plan your move effectively I am sure Spain will be all you expected and more. Embrace the culture, learn Spanish, and give yourself the best chance of succeeding in your new life in the sun. Try not to let rash decisions spoil the chance of a lifetime.

September 24th, 2011 Nick

There has been an unusual level of argument and debate about the various courses for a good career. I know that the MBA fever is going to last for quite some time. The popularity of MBA is completely justified. However, people make the mistake of choosing some wrong courses of studies. I know many friends, who would advise me on pursuing a course of study in Chartered Accountancy. Well, I had been thinking if the effort and time of the course would be really worth it. Would it be better than a MBA Finance program? Well, let’s find out.

The thing is that the MBA finance course has many advantages in comparison to the regular CA course. This has some basic reasons. When you are pursuing a CA course, you will come to know that it takes a lot of time. I know some people, who have tried and then retried to pass the tests to qualify for the course. Often, the best of the efforts are not rewarded. It takes about 10 years for a young aspirant to become a qualified and able chartered accountant for a company. On the other hand, the MBA Finance Program takes only a couple of years to complete and get the job.

The global popularity of English

why-english-is-the-universal-language

English is the sole language that has evolved naturally to emerge as the global language. The biggest factor that English Language has in its favor is its effectiveness. Comparatively, Chinese is spoken more by native speakers, it is also simple when it comes to grammar – it lacks prepositions, articles, verb tense, conjugation, singular and plural nouns. The shortcomings of Chinese make it far less effective as compared to English, when it comes to complex expressions. Chinese is also tonal, thus limiting its tone being used for expression of emotions. And, the Chinese alphabets are quite difficult for people from other countries to learn, whereas Roman alphabets are far easier to grasp.

Roman alphabet is the most commonly used alphabet on the globe, and even the most dissimilar languages like English and Spanish use it. The Roman alphabet is more phonetic than based on character. Hence, it represents one of the most helpful languages in relating the sounds of words.

The wide use of English Language has made many of the non-native speakers to realize that it is important to learn the language in order to stay in business. More than 400 million English native speakers exist in the UK, the US, Australia, Canada and other countries. However, more than 2 billion people in the world speak English Language as their native or non-native language.

There is a misconception that the language is more of a Romance language, but English is in fact a Germanic language due to the influence of the Normans. The Normans went on to settle in present day France. In the early years of the Norman conquest many Norman words were adapted into English Language, the reason why there are a lot of similarities between present-day English and French.

The present-day popularity of the language can be attributed to the medium provided by television, internet, radio and newspapers. Global English Language has further received an international recognition and popularity due to the global reach of Hollywood. And there is no other language on the internet that can take the place of English. Even the pages created in other languages offer a version of their English translation. Formerly, the influence of the British Empire and presently the dominance of the American culture has tremendously contributed to the spread of English throughout the world.

May 15th, 2011 Nick

When starting to learn English, you will come across a vocabulary that is quite vast compared to most of the major languages. You can get an estimate of the vocabulary size in English by comparing the number of pages of an English dictionary with the one for your own native language.
