A couple of decades ago, knowing more than one language was not a necessity for those who work in business since businesses were focused on the national market and the international aspect wasn\u00e1t as popularized with smaller firms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has changed in recent decades to bilingual being a basic standard when hiring anyone, especially when wanting to work in business or tourism<\/a>. The globalization the world has gotten to experience all led to us becoming surrounded by multiple cultures, languages, and people almost all the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Developing an international market is crucial for becoming a successful business nowadays, with private small businesses struggling more than ever to survive in the economic climate we find ourselves in.
