A New Approach to Languages

The Internet has brought people's notions about languages closer to reality. Isolated communities in the past, now find themselves in daily contact with a myriad of strange tongues. The Internet has also increased people's need to learn new languages.

The need for language services and linguists has consequently grown to unprecedented dimensions. However, a strong competitive trend has also developed. Whereas in the past a linguist could offer his services to his nearby community of customers, nowadays a linguist may literally reside on an island in the Pacific Ocean and still work for clients in London, New York or Tokyo. This development actually means that if you are a linguist you have to compete NOW with thousands of colleagues in your profession whereas before you might have been the only professional in your area. Whether you are a translator, writer, language teacher or a professional using foreign languages, you must realize that you are not the only one out there. It seems that the mentality of a shrinking planet has not necessarily permeated all professions. The main thing to remember, being a linguist or not, is that the Internet will serve you only if you understand you have to be Competitve both in quality and Price. And if you can, you have a place with The Polyglots.
