The Language You Speak: Is It Opening Doors Or Shutting Them In Your Face?

Spoken language is merely sound that represents thought. But if you articulate the sound well enough, you can attract unlimited friends and career opportunities. If you don't master the language, you can find yourself trapped on the bottom rungs of society, perceived as unintelligent. Its unfair, but the way we sound tells others whether or not we are worthy of trust. All languages have many dialects, as well as a standard, accepted form, which those foreign to the language learn as a means of communication. Are you aware of the dialect of English you speak? Can you speak standard English at will? Can you speak other languages? Do you know that the ability to communicate with words can determine whether you survive in the near future? Speech communications specialist Dr. Bernadette Anderson shares tips that may help others master the art of language and move ahead in their careers.
