ABOUT the author
My name is Bailey Jordan, and I am currently a Sophomore at Oklahoma State University. I am studying Finance with minors in both Accounting and Spanish. I have always been passionate about learning another language, and I hope to be multilingual in the future. However, when I first began taking classes at Oklahoma State, I was doubtful whether it was actually beneficial or not to learn a second language. Since I am minoring in Accounting in addition to my major in Finance, it will take me at least another semester in order to get a Spanish minor as well. So, I asked a few business recruiters if they thought it was beneficial to be bilingual. I also did some of my own research. I finally decided to go through with my minor. They benefits that I will receive from learning another language outweighed the time commitment in my mind. I hope that this website will help smooth any doubts you may have about spending the time to learn another language. Or, if you already know multiple languages, I hope you enjoy reading more about the benefits you receive every day from being multilingual.
