1, the number of people learning this language.
2. The number and economic situation of countries that speak this language.
3. China's relations with these countries include both geopolitical and political aspects.
Combining the above three points, talk about the employment ranking of small languages:
1, Portuguese (6 universities, 7 Portuguese-speaking countries and regions):
I don't know why there are no Portuguese in the employment rate before 10 announced by the Ministry of Education. Maybe it's because there are too few students who graduate every year and don't belong here. Professional scale? Well, in fact, the current Portuguese employment situation is really excellent.
Most Portuguese-speaking countries are concentrated in Africa, with five. In terms of language, Portuguese and Spanish are close, but in terms of employment, Portuguese and French are close. Like French, Africa is also a major battlefield for Portuguese employment at present. When it comes to Portuguese-speaking Africa, it is necessary to mention a country Angola. Angola's contribution to China is not only basketball in the Olympic Games, but also China's largest trading partner in Africa. What is more exaggerated is that Xiao 'an actually replaced Xiao 'an as the largest oil supplier in China in early 2008. It goes without saying how complementary the economies of China and Angola are. China also maintains good economic relations with Mozambique, another Portuguese-speaking African country, and is currently the sixth largest investor in that country. According to the recruitment information registered by enterprises on our website, the starting salary of people studying Portuguese in Africa will reach 2000-2500 US dollars, which is far behind other small languages.
At present, the employment advantages of Portuguese-speaking colleges 15 are gradually disappearing. In addition, good employment and good job are different concepts. Portuguese-speaking high-paying jobs mainly come from Angola and other countries in Africa, followed by Brazil, and Portugal's contribution to employment is almost negligible. The problem with Portuguese is that it doesn't have a cultural core, its language is not big, it has been scattered by several countries, and the fields that exist in China are often deserted and powerless.
2. Spanish (there are 20 colleges and universities and more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries and regions)
Spanish is a bit like French five years ago. There are more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries, and there are only more than 20 Spanish-speaking institutions in China. Judging from the training market in the past two years, Spanish has warmed up the fastest, on the one hand, because of the opening of the study abroad market in American countries, on the other hand, the market has more demand for Spanish talents.
Spanish-speaking countries are mostly concentrated in Latin America, which is greatly influenced by the West, and their economic dependence on the United States is not strong, and the demand for Spanish talents is relatively stable. At present, the good employment situation benefits from the law that things are scarce and expensive. Unsurprisingly, the number of Spanish-language colleges and universities will surge in recent years. With the gradual availability of suitable people in suitable positions, Spanish employment will probably not have such obvious advantages in the future.
There are 70 or 80 new Spanish majors, and the employment situation is basically the same as predicted in the original text, with no obvious advantages.
3. French (there are 765,438+0 universities and more than 40 French-speaking countries and regions).
French is the language with the largest number and widest range in countries other than English. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games and all the competition venues were broadcast in French, English and Chinese.
There are more than 130 colleges and universities in China offering French majors. French is a small language with the most stable employment.
4. German (there are 60 universities and about 5 German-speaking countries and regions).
German 10 is the first job, and the second language is small salary. The employment situation in Germany is basically stable and will not be too surprising or disappointing. The main channel to attract talents is the above-mentioned 10 field. In attracting talents from foreign companies, except Japanese companies, German companies are the best performers, especially in the automobile industry.
At present, there are more than 130 colleges and universities that have newly added German majors. No matter from the temperament quality or the national economy, Germany has given German a very masculine feeling, but the fullness of its reputation is helpless to the bone feeling of employment. The difficulty of employment in Germany lies in its strong dependence on a single country, without France, Spain, Portugal, Africa and America. A construction site in the sun? There is no geographical advantage between Japan, South Korea, Thailand and China, and the number of German learners is not small. They can only fight for strength. What is left in the end? Iron man? . On the other hand, many German companies speak English.
5. Japanese (227 University, Japan, a Japanese-speaking country)
Aside from the factors of national feelings, objectively speaking, Japan is indeed a country with leading technology and many famous enterprises.
Among the top 500 companies in the world, Japan has always ranked second. At the same time, due to the geographical relationship, a large number of Japanese companies have invested and set up factories in China. Unlike European and American companies, Japanese companies use English as their office language regardless of their mother tongue, and Japanese English is not good either. Japanese enterprises have absorbed a large number of Japanese graduates. Many people think that foreign companies are the main graduation destination for minority language students, probably because of the influence of Japanese employment.
At present, more than 500 colleges and universities have set up the latest minor in Japanese, and the number of people learning Japanese is indeed the largest among small languages.
6. Italian (there are 12 universities, and Italy is the main language country).
Italy is a maverick country, and it is difficult to understand her with fixed thinking. This country is very individual, but the employment of Italian learners is mostly regular.
There is no field in Italian that can attract a large number of graduates. However, due to the small number of colleges and universities, the enrollment is not annual, and the unstable policy of studying abroad in Italy, there are not many returned graduates like French, German and Spanish, so the advantage of employment in Italy is that the competition pressure is not great, and the disadvantage is that the channels are not wide.
7. Russian (there are 93 universities and about 10 Russian-speaking countries and regions).
Apart from Russia, Russian is not the only common language in several other countries, Ukraine and several countries. Stan. All countries have it? De-russification? Posture.
The Russian economy has recovered rapidly in recent years. Not only in some border areas of Heilongjiang and Xinjiang, Sino-Russian trade is very active. In the core area of the capital Beijing, Yabao Road next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, street signs and shop signs are bilingual in China and Russia, and the scale is very large. There are many institutions offering Russian, but many of them have not enrolled students in recent years, and Russian employment is generally in a state of recovery.
8. Arabic (16 universities, more than 20 Arabic-speaking countries and regions).
Arabic-speaking countries really like to talk about oil. In addition to the mentioned 65,438+00 small language industries, the employment of Arabic-speaking graduates is closely related to this. PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC are the foothold of graduates.
Arabic-speaking countries lack well-known enterprises, so it is unrealistic to learn Arabic to enter foreign companies. Arabs doing business in China are mostly concentrated in small commodity wholesale markets like Yiwu.
Algerian, Tunisia, Moroccan and other countries use Arabic as their official language and French is widely used. Many companies are equipped with translators in two languages, which can be regarded as a French family.
9. Korean (there are 6 1 universities, and Korean countries are South Korea and North Korea)
Korean is very popular among young people in China in the past two years, and learning Korean is regarded as a fashion. But most people learn Korean only for entertainment, and it has nothing to do with the employment situation of Korean majors.
South Korean companies investing in China include big companies like Samsung and LG, and more are small companies. The distribution of Korean enterprises in China is very regional, with many in Shandong, Northeast China, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong, and most of them are located in some second-and third-tier cities, such as Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Rizhao and Dongguan. The salary level is also low, and some people will do it with a monthly salary of 65,438+0,000 RMB. Small Korean enterprises set up factories in China, which means low labor costs.
Among the nine small languages, the Korean major has a low gold content, which is the major that pays the least attention to academic qualifications and the most attention to the actual Korean level. Many enterprises only need to go to junior college or even high school. This is because Korean is relatively easy to master; Secondly, many Koreans in China are born bilingual talents; Thirdly, there are many Korean students and staff in China. Their Chinese is good and they live in the community, so they are less dependent on Korean translation.
