Multilingualism in the Global World

"If you spoke uncommon language, you would pick out a somewhat diverse world."

What is multilingualism?

This is the use of two or more languages, either by an individual speaker or by community of speakers. The number of multilingual speakers now over weighs monolingual speakers in the world and multilingualism is becoming a social occurrence governed by the requirements of globalization and cultural sincerity.

According to Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, had plenty to say on the matter of bilingualism back in the early 20^th century. Today, nearly 100 years later, it’s harmless to verbalize the ‘ole wordsmith would be proud. 

It’s estimated that more than a half of the world’s population is bilingual and according to psychology today, that means around 3.5 billion people use more than one language to communicate every day. There are commonly held paybacks attributed to these casual script swappers, most of them are symptomatic of an increase in cognitive processing, focus and the ability to multi-task. But to people who identify themselves as bilingual or multilingual, the benefits are usually solid and individual.

Learning how to speak many foreign languages extends outside the walls of your language class, according to the Oct, 25^th, 2013 Montana Public Radio Article titled “The importance of learning foreign languages” states that learning another language can improve the students’ mental focus, reading and writing abilities and even improve math skills. This clicks into my mind to say that a monolingual person always faces more problems when it comes to operating any business especially in a foreign market. Here you can basically opt for a translation agency if you were to run your business in multilingual markets. It’s not a joking matter, most business operators today succeed in multi-cultural and multilingual markets they can utilize services of language translation companies.

Prioritizing

Courtney Cox, sophomore in mass communication carried and found that there is nothing like taking on a foreign language to teach to prioritize. That made her currently to enroll in Spanish III.

Language is like kind of your saving grace, in a situation where you may two or more in a job interview and the employer may be looking at two people where the one who speaks a foreign language stands a chance to be taken thus it’s nice to have that merit. 

Cox said, “Just the fact that its four days a week and you are not used to going to class that much,” but “in my class where she assigns something at least every day, which by itself is not that much, but when you pair it with other things, you have to think different and also think in a foreign language.

Madison Moore, Sophore in applied music, said knowing a different language can aid in the not-so-typical career as she is currently taking Italian III. “As a vocal performance major, I felt extremely fortunate that K-state offered Italian,” Moore said. “Many of the most well known operas are in Italian

However, learning a foreign helps not only knowing its pronunciations but it helps so much in conveying your message be it of a business or anything to different audience and you can come down to become an excellent instructor. Moore said in her music career it worked nice for her, for she can now understand the texts on the page which enables her to connect with her music and gives a better chance of conveying that message to the audience.

For many people speaking more than one language keeps them connected to their families. If you cannot be able to communicate with your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles simply because you don’t share a common language as the popular saying goes, “you can’t know where to go until you know where you have been”... And for some languages provides that route 

“For this case, the best idea is to be able to communicate in my language and as a little bonus to know other languages to communicate with other people which will be an added advantage if dealing in any business in multicultural or a multilingual market”

We are living in an increasingly globalized world where many cultural subtleties can slide through the cracks as we are trying to comprehend past each other’s different dialects, therefore dipping yourself in a new language means opening the entrance to an entire different culture and the way of viewing the world, and not everything translated is perfectly understood by the audience, but it at times needs cultural contexts.

“Living in the global world and multicultural society is becoming critical more than ever that we have the ability and willingness to interact with different people, all bringing their languages and subtle nuances”  said Gabriel, Los Angeles, English and Spanish.

Some suggestions state that multilingual persons have many personalities, acting differently when speaking in diverse languages. I agree with this suggestion because some words that I know in my language do not exist in other languages, meaning there are different ways of manifestations depending on the language am speaking. “It reminds me that just because am of any tribe, doesn’t mean that I can’t be in touch with people of different cultures and grasp a completely different way of life they are living, and that is very special. 

My last say is to you is that bilingualism or multilingualism is very important but if in any case you cannot cope up with the idea of learning many languages, still you can survive through language translation.

How to Market Your Medical Services

Well! it’s a very important action to put in mind that today in the world of business be it small or big, there is an obvious issue that for any business to yield recognition, success, and continuity operation, there must have been a serious marketing strategy employed by the owner, however, some business owners might decide not to market their practices once after assuming that they are already in the business field. In the medical field, the medical service provider has to make sure that having a premeditated marketing sketch in place will still be a fundamental tool for practices as they hunt to rise above the competition and attract a desirable base from the new pool.

Perhaps you are dejected to work in traditional medical practice setting or just as a hospital worker and considering a retainer medical practice. There is need to look at assured issues, possibly you are thinking throughout all the principled, legal, operational interrogations but still carry solutions in your business and you have one big thing stressing questions. For instance, what is marketing in general, how do I market my medical services, how do I get clients to buy my drugs? People tend to be lost on which technique to use on marketing, one may ask, can marketing i.e. a concierge or a density medical practice be of more success and fetch more patients as he/she expects? How should I budget time and what price should I appeal my audience to pay and can it realize profits?

 

It’s again most focal point to note! Yah, most of the people may go for health insurance but they have a plenty of practices from which to choose, and note that not all patients will be a good fit for every practice. All what we need to know is that marketing your medical services and your specific medical field is such an important issue to let the targeted clients aware of the services provided.

Some physicians and practice management consultants say marketing a practice in line with its strategic business plan highlights its brand, focuses on its positive attributes ,determines, and corrects any deficiencies, this will pay off in higher revenues and business sustainability or growth as the new patients begin looking for physicians, they pointed that its true whether the marketing comes through advertising, social media, websites or any other means, “marketing causes a difference between ones medical practice with another and will be a requirement” this was according to Josh Denton.

Let me remind you some of the marketing charms of getting your clients in the door of your clinic, or a pharmacy.

The first thing before you take note of this considerations is that you have to strengthen your art of “whatever comes may”  because being a strong competitor, you have to be able to succumb to any changes and new marketing techniques.

Loving to start learning from the existing experience of the other practitioners is what I think is the best to push your medical services to be seen by the target clients, putting in mind that medical marketing is not new but you have to look at the world experience and base on that. Searching for possible proven strategies that have helped others repeatedly in the ancient times matching situation. This is like organizing a pool of core proven strategies around your strategic plan for the business, as I said earlier, this may appear like you are the first in “marketing a practice” in the field, but not as you see, for instance the first- free-for service practice, first cash-pay practice that can’t be new but the previous experience for you. 

In reality one cannot just go and start marketing his or her services without a clear or a well designed market plan, for any health care practice or concierge practice, you have to play around few strategic clues basing on; 

Ø Internal marketing that involves inspiring referrals, staff effectiveness, and retention.

Ø External strategies; publicity, broadcast, internet, newspaper advertising

Ø Branding; to communicate and demonstrate how you call yourself unique from others.

Ø Professional referrals like developing a referral base and communicating.

Marketing needs you to be specific and informing the client who are you, what you will offer to the market. I can further recommend the need for making the medical services accessible, to beat out the stiff competition, there is no need to put there much money, the issue to develop a business website and hosting weekly webinars and were possibly answering the medical questions from clients. This is very crucial to any new medical service that has never been available in the community and familiar to clients, you need to seriously market it or promote it on your site and other pages like face book, twitter, LinkedIn and many other sites you have will familiarize your medical services, leaving that a part, providing telemarketing options such as

-      Nurse phone calls

-      Web conferencing

-      Video calls

-      Online charts

Interpreting services play a vital role in the provision of medical services. A medical service provider serves people of diverse cultures and languages. There is no single country in the world which may not have any foreigners inform of immigrants, tourists or in any other form. The fact is that including interpreters in your medical service will attract more clients to your clinic.

With such, you can make clients reach you and ask questions of whichever kind and get acquainted with what you offering to them.

There is no doubt for the any business to collapse just because the proprietor is trying to work alone without seeking for advices from either friends and other related business operators, I therefore advice readers of this article who are intending to take an initiative of medical services to the market be it global market or a local market to make friends and have business discussions with them about what just have a look at anything you intend and your friend is aware about what it’s all about, he keeps on referring people asking for such a service to you. Thus calling upon you to keep interacting with locals in the community, schools about your medical services
