The importance of knowing Interior Design in another language

Interior design is a practice that is done in every country. A certain percent of the people that are studying interior design may speak two to three languages. A good example will be myself I'm a 23 year old women who speaks three languages which in two I'm very fluent. I'm about to graduate from a Bachelors in Interior Design and I know all the terms and how to work with every program in English. Right now I have a little bit of a disadvantage because when I'm done with school I will like to work for a global company so that way I can work in different countries. I believe that if in your faculty there is a teacher that is fluent in two language and he knows all the terms in two languages and can teach it they should teach the student in both languages so that way when they graduate they have an advantage. Learning a foreign language teaches you that there are often several ways to express a concept or an idea. In the business world, it gives you an incredible edge in being able to communicate directly with your customer. It creates a relationship you could never achieve through an interpreter. I believe we pay a lot of money to get a good education and get a  bachelors. And with it have a successful job not to graduate and have a little bit of a disadvantage between a percentage of people.

  1. Being fluent in more that one language is always a positive. The issue on learning a language for interior design is which one would it be? This becomes like the specialty area of interior design you want to focus on. You must learn and experience on your own.

  2. I believe that having two or more languages is an extremely big advantage. I think that another language should be required as part of the program, along with a course on the metric system. When it comes to working and getting a job, being able to speak multiple languages and work with metric and imperial measurements will only help your chances of not only getting the job you want, but excelling at it as well.
