While one may feel certain that the ability to speak English in America, in conjunction with one’s education and work experience, will suffice in distinguishing oneself in the job market, this essay will argue that an English speaking monoglot is far less marketable than one who is bilingual in English and in Spanish.

Partridge, chief of Latin American and Caribbean operations for Visa International said, “I don’t give a hoot about the political aspects of it. To me, that’s a lot of garbage.

    The language barrier, which is also a difficult hurdle to encompass, serves as one of the most obvious cultural differences. A manager can delegate a task to be accomplished within a US based division and reap the expected results immediately. On the other hand, if an international manager is not familiar with the English language or culture, the same task may yield a different result. Language is the transmitter of both information and ideas. "The key to global competency is to develop the skills to cope, and that means integrating into the dominant culture and realizing how to properly interpret and analyze behavior" (Hayes, 1996). Being bilingual increases the advantage that foreign business partners have in interacting together. It nullifies the need of a third party translator. Business partners tend to be more open and receiving when communicating with bilingual personnel who speak there native language. "An understanding of the language allows the manager to pick up particular points of view, implied meanings, and other information that is not literal" (Moreno, 2006).

    The achievement of any affiliation relies on the ability to communicate with others. Communication is essential in all relationships as it allows anyone to share their concerns, interests, and support of one another. Effective communication is the way of listening and how words are pronounced, and how we respond to body language. All too often the indicators we send are not those we intend to send, and when this happens, both the trust and connection vanish in our relationships. When two people converse in a conversation they can say many things without speaking, the tone of voice, our posture, and the expression on our face all display a message. In the three interviews I have conducted and analyzed; I realized how crucial communication strengths
