The value of knowing a new language

How much is are language skills worth?

It can improve the travel experience. Your next and every future trip might be 30% nicer. Become that friend who can help with local problems. Feel safe in foreign environments. Show respect and be invited to a seat at the table.

An article in the Economist estimates that it can result in tens of thousands of extra income over the duration of a career, assuming a 1-2% improvement in productivity. It will open extra doors, and a career depends on communication and communication depends on comfort in language and uncertainty. So a language can make you more productive to the company, which can result in promotions and job stability.

It is priceless to speak the language of your new family members, in case you’re married with a foreigner or have a foreign family history. You can connect to a whole new family branch. And if you’re from a mixed household, it opens a way to really express yourself with that side of the family.

Even for older people it can be interesting. Research shows that learning a language can postpone Dementia by like 4 years. Interestingly, research also shows that older people can still learn languages, younger people just have more frequent and higher quality of exposure. If true, 4 years is more than any medicine, and such a medicine would likely sell for 1.000’s of Euros.

The value of learning a language can therefore be thousands of euros. And that excludes the time and frustration we saved you by working efficiently. Have you spoken to someone with a 1000-day Duolingo streak? It looks like a waste of time and potential.

So how much is fair? An app subscription that doesn’t really work costs 80+€. Semester-long courses can cost 400€. It would be nice if you can support us with something in this range. But it is up to you of course, depending on your experience at the end of the program.
