Don't try to understand everything [when you're not yet fluent], just try to get the general idea, or some sense of what is being said/written.
It's proven to be SUCH A GOOD piece of advice, I still apply it with all the new #languages I'm learning.
Fluency in #English helps and has helped immensely in my professional career.
A good command of #French is also often useful, as well as some knowledge of #German and #Italian.
Studying #Turkish & #Arabic is not essential, but it's a great bonus that can really impress my boss(es). 💪🏻
Gràcies! 😊

My first contact with such a dense & imposing subject and the author, Gordon M. Shepherd (1933-2022), makes me laugh. I'm impressed! 👏🏻
