Can you do foreign trade without knowing English?
Of course! And you can also find the motivation to learn English on this platform. English is a global communication language. It is necessary to master it, but not knowing English does not mean that you can't communicate with foreigners. Language gradually permeates each other. You should believe in yourself and cheer up. If you really don't want to learn English and want to do foreign trade, we can use sign language and online translation to communicate with customers and do a good job in foreign trade! In Russia, there are many Wenzhou businessmen who don't know Russian at all, but they can still do business with Russians. Do you know how they talk business with Russians? To put it bluntly, the method is actually very simple, and anyone can use it-that is, express it in sign language and bargain with a calculator. Although this method is clumsy, it is very useful. Therefore, all over the world, there are Wenzhou people who don't understand foreign languages at all, and they do business directly with foreigners of different colors overseas, and they are all very successful. This shows that sign language is the most common expression in the world. When I first started doing business online, I often met some foreigners who couldn't communicate at all. For example, there was once an old Mongolian lady who only spoke Mongolian. She once gave me a headache because I couldn't understand her emails. And the email I sent, she couldn't understand it. Even if I communicate with her in English, I can't communicate because she doesn't understand English at all. Later, I tried to find a Russian translator to communicate with her, but she still didn't understand. Because of her humble background, she can only speak Mongolian and can't speak any other languages, including English and Russian. In this case, I thought of using sign language to express my meaning. Of course, this way of dialogue through sign language or animated expressions is backward and laborious after all. Therefore, if you really want to do foreign trade business, you have to make up your mind to learn foreign languages. In fact, there is no need to study hard, just remember some at any time. After a long time, you will naturally master a foreign language slowly. Look at those Wenzhou people who have been wandering overseas for a long time. In addition to the above methods, they can also use some online translation resources on the Internet. Although this online translation system can't completely translate the meaning clearly, it can also roughly translate it. There is also an electronic dictionary tool software, which can also be downloaded and queried. When a foreigner says something he doesn't understand when chatting with you, paste the new words in the dictionary and look them up, and you will understand the general meaning immediately. Color translation is a big problem when making clothes, so you have to find an electronic dictionary for clothing majors. Fortunately, such electronic dictionaries are free resources on the Internet, and you can find them on many websites. Hehe, now that the technology is developed, our businessmen's dependence on this kind of professional technology has weakened. For example, in the 1980s, professional technicians were needed to take photos. Now, with the development of digital technology, everyone can take pictures, even my ten-year-old daughter has learned to take pictures and process images. She can not only take photos, but also learn to shoot videos with a digital camera and simply edit videos with fool software. If this kind of work were changed in the past, would it be difficult for adults to learn it? Therefore, with the development of science and technology, people's dependence on professional technology is weakening. I believe that with the further development of Alibaba, people who can't speak Japanese at all can do business with the Japanese directly in the future. This is the strength of Alibaba, a commercial platform. As long as they participate in their foreign trade, even if they don't know a foreign language, they can communicate and do business with Arab guests in the Middle East, Russian guests in the Far East, Balkan Slavic guests and strange foreign guests through the Ali system. From this perspective, not knowing English is not an obstacle to doing foreign trade business at all.
