realise that you're working in multicultural and multilingual
workplaces
You realise that languages are important for your work
The
bad news:
You're
wasting more languages than you're learning
The
more languages you've got, the more you're wasting them
Many
of you aren't offering language services at work, and even
if you do, you're not using them
You've
not got a strategic or even co-ordinated view on using languages
at work
