Modern society professionally favors people who can speak at least one foreign language. But what can you do when you did not learn a foreign language in school and your professional tasks require talking to certain clients in English?

This is the point when adults decide to go back and study if they want to get ahead. Studies show that the number of job interviews in English is constantly rising.

Even if they are eager to learn, adults can face some age-specific obstacles: lack of time and a low capacity to assimilate new information.

It takes time and perseverance to learn a foreign language. Unfortunately, adults have numerous responsibilities: family, work, chores around the house. They need to reduce their free time to get the results they want. Efficient time management can also help.

Moreover, an untrained mind is a slow mind. Adults are no longer used to learning, unlike the daily routine of a child, so they may have a low capacity to assimilate new information. One reason could be the level of exhaustion an adult has to deal with every day. In fact, it is not easy to get back from work after 8, 10 or even more hours and get straight to studying. An option that could help in this case is to hire a tutor. In this situation, the adult knows that there is someone who will regularly check up on them and will feel the need to assimilate everything they had resolved to.

As hard as it may seem, once the decision to start learning a foreign language is made, nothing is impossible. In the end, everyone should decide for themselves what the best way to advance in their career is.
