Learning International Language

Learning International Language

One of things I've always try to adopt when I get to a project is to learn the local dialect of that country, and then official languages like French. In every country learn  basic greetings, price negotiation at the market. In Senegal, I learnt and spoke Wolof with a lot of effort. In Niger the local languages were Hausa, Zarma Fulfulde however I never heard any of my colleagues speaking them.In Guinea Bissau it was Portuguese Creole and Burundi the most widely spoken language is  Kirundi, Swahili.
Embarking on the journey to learn another international language as a Freelance Telecom consultant can be a transformative and rewarding experience. In the dynamic world of telecommunications, where global collaboration is key, acquiring proficiency in an additional language opens up a multitude of opportunities. Beyond the languages you currently speak, mastering a new language not only enhances your communication skills but also allows you to navigate diverse cultural landscapes with ease. As a freelance telecom consultant, this linguistic versatility becomes a valuable asset, enabling you to engage with clients, understand regional nuances, and foster stronger connections in an increasingly interconnected global industry. Whether it's expanding your client base, negotiating contracts, or simply immersing yourself in the rich tapestry of international telecommunications, the ability to communicate in another language broadens your professional horizons and positions you as a versatile and sought-after consultant in the ever-evolving telecom sector.

I  fluent in English both verbal and written, reading and communicate in very Simple French language and complete documents. I recommend every freelance engineer to learn French if you're coming from  English speaking country and English for those coming from Frenchspeaking countries. Thanks to Institute Francais Burundi, I  completed A1.3 and moving unto A2.
