As the corporate global market expands, the advantage of being a polyglot, or one who speaks multiple languages, continues to grow in tandem. Estimates suggest that bilinguals account for more than half of the world population, which supports the notion that three or more languages are needed in order to set oneself apart.
The process of language acquisition increases cognitive abilities; it also fosters the ability of the learner to communicate more genuinely and empathetically with speakers of the target language. Moreover, the skills of multilingualism can help business owners gain access to wider markets and to build channels for revenue that remain unavailable to monolinguals.
