Ever since the languages were spoken, the communication became clearer, preciser and better. It has without any doubt changed all our lives. These advantages indeed apply to one language or any language we know, what if you know more than one? What if you know a foreign language? 

Will that not open doors to unimaginable places, to incredible people and to endless opportunities? 

People in India are already multilingual. English is in most places a compulsory language taught in the schools. 

Nowadays foreign languages are also learned and taught widely in India. One such in-demand language is Japanese. There are various reasons to learn a foreign language and one of the compelling reasons is the Career opportunities for a Japanese language specialist such as ,Translator, interpreter, voice artist, Content creator and Youtuber. 

Careers in Japan

1. Translator and interpreter: 

These are the most common career options available for a language specialist. Tons of jobs are offered for a translator and an  interpreter frequently in many Organizations. Translation is mainly done for written word, in the form of documents, deeds, contracts, important papers. Whereas an interpreter works as a middleman, who can make or break a deal. 

Many Indian companies and MNCs seek candidates who can speak languages fluently. With a wide range of jobs and a handsome salary, it is one of the most desirable career opportunities for a Japanese language specialist. 

2. Tourism, travel and hospitality

This is an expansive field and the opportunities are boundless. One can simply work as a travel guide to satisfy one’s wanderlust, a flight attendant to fly around the world, while being at work, a hotel manager to enjoy the perks of being able to communicate to international guests. Being able to do anything around travelling is a blessing. If you are fluent with the language you can find such jobs not just in India but also Japan. 

3. Translator and voice artist for films, Anime and series

The world of media, movies and entertainment has no boundaries. With the passing years the preferences have also changed. People are more curious and keen to know about other country’s cultures, customs and lives through movies and anime. In order to reach the desired and maximum audience, they are released in various languages. The translation shouldn’t lose its essence, which is why a human translator is required. This becomes one exciting career option if you want to work behind the scenes. If you are a person that loves to read, recite, speak and drama, being a voice artist offers you all of it and much more. These are interesting and unusual career opportunities for Japanese learners.

4. Japanese language trainer 

Who would have thought we will learn barakhadi again but this time in Japanese. A Japanese language trainer can not just teach kids, but also adults, not just at schools or colleges, but also in companies, not just privately but also through institutions. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if I said we have a language enthusiast in every nook and corner. It’s a fun and varied job. With every new group and set of people come new experiences and energy. One can deliver better if one has good knowledge about the language.

5. Content creator 

Social media has created the content creators. There are various platforms, where people can share their knowledge, skills and work with others. It’s a whole new world that one operates through and carries in hands. Sharing the information has become such an easy thing, you just need to know precisely what your targeted audience wants. Memes, jokes, videos, reels, boomerang videos, audios, images and graphics. People generally make content about language insights, grammar, pronunciation, culture, festivals and travelling. These are some of the hot topics. 

6. Japanese Youtuber

Many people are listeners, many are readers, many are writers but all of them are viewers. A video arouses the attention of a listener, reader, writer and also a person who interests himself for none of these. YouTube is the biggest platform to share and view such content. The language YouTuber can make education videos, cultural videos, also travel videos and much more. This profession requires a constant level of consistency and self motivation until it reaches a point, where you start generating income through your channel. 

Your work and what you do, consumes almost half of your life, don’t you want to make it rather interesting?  I vouch for each one of these options. Do not hold yourself back and refrain from learning. Give it a try, to have one less regret and one more blessing.
