The completion of 15 credits of an English language contributes to global competency because Bisaya was the dialect my parents spoke within our household. Although I was born and raised in Canada, Bisaya was my first language and ultimately, I learned English through TV shows and school. Being fluent in different languages has broadened my perspective when it comes to communicating with different individuals because I understand the challenges that come along with language barriers and struggling to express what you need. I would say the benefits of knowing different languages is the ability to communicate with more people and build new connections. That’s what is so special about different languages because they build connections, relationships, and allow us to learn new things about one another.
