Deberías aprender inglés (esp-eng)

Para los que tiene negocios de cafetería o restaurante, atender clientes extranjeros que no hablen tu idioma será mucho más fácil. Ellos se sentirán más cómodo hablando su idioma original, y querrán volver a tu lugar, pues allí lo comprenden mejor. Esto es parte de dar un buen servicio, y es una de las puertas de entrada de moneda dura para tu negocio. Probablemente se lo comentarán a otros amigos y familiares, y num, tendrás más clientes internacionales.

Lo mismo pasa si vendes un producto original o con calidad para ser exportado. Saber el inglés, casi siempre va acompañado de entender la idiosincrasia de sus hablantes nativos. Así que será mucho más fácil introducir tus productos a ese mercado internacional. Sabes que palabras decir, y probablemente como decirlas. O sea, no vas ciego por ahí a ver qué puede pasar.

Otra ventaja que tienes a tu disposición es la de poder hacer un benchmarking de manera más eficaz. El benchmarking no es otra cosa que comparar tu negocio con el de otros y sobre todo con los que están en el top, teniendo en cuenta determinados aspectos como el producto, servicios etcétera.

¿Por qué es mucho eficaz? Pues la mayoría de las tendencias más prolíficas nacen de zonas angloparlantes. De esa manera, vas a estar viendo y comprendiendo la actualidad de los mercados y lo vas a poder adaptar a las condiciones de tu región, su gente y su idiosincrasia. Eso es un éxito casi al seguro.

Cómo ves, no son pocas las ventajas que te ofrezco de aprender un idioma en beneficio de tu emprendimiento. No tiene que ser inglés de manera obligatoria, pero es muy recomendable. En la actualidad también recomiendo aprender el chino. Es un poco complejo y tiene varios dialectos, pero hay que entender que China está trabajando en serio en la economía mundial.

Si tienes chance, otros idiomas que puedes aprender son el francés y el alemán. Tarea difícil, pero que te puede hacer un emprendedor internacional.

Tengan buen día todo. Nos vemos otro día.

Entrepreneurs!
How are you feeling?

I am a translator and interpreter of the English language. I’ve only been graduated for almost two years, but I’ve already gained experience in both fields. It seems that artificial intelligence might make my profession disappear. Maybe not, and in the end people will want the human side of translation and especially interpretation to survive.

Nevertheless, I’m here to invite you to learn another language, especially English. I believe it’s a tool that entrepreneurs will find wonderful, particularly if we are still small and facing a whole carousel of competitors.

It’s never too late to learn, even if you want to use age as an excuse to avoid making a little effort in learning languages. Of course, there’s a big advantage for younger people—it’s easier for them. However, once I tell you the advantages of knowing English (or another important language) for your business, you’ll forget about your gray hairs and give it your best shot.

First of all, you’ll have at your disposal a whole wealth of useful information that you probably won’t find in your own language. There are many articles, podcasts, and very active communities that we can only find in English. By accessing them firsthand, you’ll be able to act much faster than your competition. In other words, you’ll always be up to date with the latest trends, without having to wait months or even years to discover the truth.

If you need to import equipment, raw materials, or anything essential to keep your business running, you won’t need annoying intermediaries to manage things for you. Here you have two more advantages: cost reduction and greater guarantee of obtaining exactly what you need and ask for. Why? Because you’ll have the possibility of speaking directly with the supplier. As a small entrepreneur, you’ll be grateful for that.

For those who own cafés or restaurants, serving foreign customers who don’t speak your language will be much easier. They’ll feel more comfortable speaking their own language and will want to return to your place because they feel understood there. This is part of providing good service, and it’s one of the gateways to hard currency for your business. They’ll probably tell other friends and family, and soon you’ll have more international customers.

The same applies if you sell an original or high-quality product suitable for export. Knowing English almost always goes hand in hand with understanding the idiosyncrasies of its native speakers. That makes it much easier to introduce your products into that international market. You’ll know what words to use and probably how to say them. In other words, you won’t be wandering blindly, hoping something works out.

Another advantage at your disposal is being able to do benchmarking more effectively. Benchmarking is nothing more than comparing your business with others, especially those at the top, taking into account aspects like products, services, and so on.

Why is it more effective? Because most of the most prolific trends are born in English-speaking regions. That way, you’ll be seeing and understanding the current state of markets and will be able to adapt it to the conditions of your region, its people, and its culture. That’s almost a guaranteed success.

As you can see, there are plenty of advantages to learning a language for the benefit of your business. It doesn’t have to be English necessarily, but it’s highly recommended. Nowadays, I also recommend learning Chinese. It’s a bit complex and has several dialects, but we must understand that China is working seriously in the global economy.

If you have the chance, other languages you can learn are French and German. A difficult task, but one that can make you an international entrepreneur.

Have a great day, everyone. See you another time.
