English Language is the purpose of life

i have been dealing with export- import documentation, banking negotiation and rules related to the international trade for the last 17 years, subsequently for four different companies. From one company to the other, 80 percent of my tasks are dealing with English language. With such a long dealing, and as working with the main charge is handling export documentation, English seems to have been not secluded from life. English is not just a hobby-related matter; it has been the part of my life, the part of livings. Is there anyone else who is still thinking of making English for living?

When you are selling your products at domestic markets, you will receive payment when you deliver the goods to your buyers or at the maturity date if you are selling on tenor or you grant them a credit. It is not as simple as selling at local markets when you are selling abroad or, as it is commonly familiar as exporting. Exporting goods abroad is more complicated in both delivery procedures and payment receivable.

The problems are because of the different country of the exporter (seller) and the importer (buyer), different currency, political situation, and regulations. As the buyers are in different countries, we do not know exactly about their credibility. Furthermore, exporters and importers have different currency in use, different political situation and authorities may differently regulate the flow of foreign currency or import commodity entries to their customs area.

In relation to the payment for the exported goods, exporter will have not just to deliver the goods and receive payment like one of local sales. They have to prepare a certain sets of documents required by the buyers for the cargoes release at the port of destination. These kinds of the documents are, export or shipping documents as people usually refer to, all in international-standardized English. As the staff preparing the export documents are in the demand of qualifying this international standard requirements, in both their knowledge of the type of duties and the respective language, proficiency in English is a must, or at least, it is more than just an average.

Staffs working for the export-import department are not only dealing with the export documents. Further to this clerical works, they must also get in touch with internal related departments and external institutions, such as the customs, shipping lines, government institutions, embassies, consulates, and other related parties. Like preparing the documents, communicating with these institutions will also not keep apart from English.

When we are exporting the goods abroad, when will we get payment from customers? It depends on the terms of the sales itself. If the term is payment in advance, of course we get fund prior to shipment. If the term is open account or document collections, we will get it after we ship the goods; depending on how many days we give them tenor.

Most exporters, however, prefer to sales under documentary letter of credit as this is considered as the most secured method of payment. When exporters have prepared all the shipping documents required by the respective letter of credit, they will present the documents to their bank. As long as all of the documents comply with the letter of credit stipulations, bank will negotiate (pay first) the clean documents, whilst they claim to the opener bank of the letter of credit for reimbursement thereafter.

The other interesting job is having calls or emails from customers or, sometimes, from other related parties. With their calls or emails, customers usually inquiry us for certain requests, or even, complain us for something that is not of their convenience. Sometime, they may be upset for certain services that are not satisfactorily. In respond to all their dissatisfaction, we must be cool and calm. Customers’ complaints are not always correct, of course. Anyhow, we should treat them wisely as despite their hard complaints, they are our valuable assets.

After a thorough justification, we may clarify what have actually happened or, in case that the complaint is acceptable, we apologize and offer improvements for the next with certain compensations for the lost. To treat complains comfortably requires a skill of good public relation, as this may reflect the company image to them.

Working for export-import documentation as above described will require special skills and dealing with English is likely intact in day-to-day activities. Thus, English is not just a matter of hobby; it has been the part of life. Anyone who is now learning English language may also be thinking of this alternative career. Not only does it give you prestigious position, but vacancies for qualified export-import staffs are now also widely available. Are you interested in?

Another aspect to English Learning

You may feel that you have been facing many troubles since you decided to learn English as a very interesting and second language. This experience does not only happen to you. I think most of learners are facing the same problem. If you have decided not to escape from the learning, just because having experienced many difficulties, we tend to learn more linguistic rules but to put the language into day-to-day activities. Because of the lack of practice, we often find it difficult to express our idea in both written and spoken language.
There have been some sorts of ways of learning from which you may pick one out that best fits you. There are also some tips and hints of learning. A friend of mine who lives in Argentina (Latin America) has another way of learning, which you may take any advantage from. Here is the tip after necessary editing from me.


(i) Spend the time!

So far, the most important factor is how much time you are immersed in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn it. Learning here means all the kinds of efforts to obtain skills of listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.

(ii) Listen and read every day

Listen to whatsoever you are able to learn from; it might be a radio, television, VCD or MP3 player, or other audio devices. No other way of acquiring listening skills but to listen to anything of your preference. In class reading is mainly to learn what the text is about or find particular information, reading here is more than just what you do at class. It must be extensive reading, which, by steps, will lead you to a habit. It is more than just reading at class. If you keep more and more listening and reading, you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading outside is more effective than many hours of class time.

(iii) Focus on words and phrases

Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need a lot of them. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually, you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how perfect you speak, until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.

(iv) Take responsibility for your own learning

If you are not in good mood to learn the language, you need not to force yourself. If you do want to learn the language or have good mood, take control. Choose content of interest that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand when you are listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child who is growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. A teacher cannot teach you to be fluent, but you can learn to be fluent if you want to.

(v) Relax and enjoy yourself

Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. So, sit down and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.

I have been studying English for many years now, English is not my mother tongue, but I know English is very important. I have accumulated some experience, including this writing where I learn English and share it with you, I hope it is useful for you. We should work as hard as a farmer; and there will be a success, post-harvest fruits. After all, no pains, no gains.
English is a language; learning is not just to remember the words, phrases, sentences and grammar rules. It is a matter of making use of the language into the daily life. So, we must be sure to sharpen our skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. English language learning is, at the first step, a process of memorizing, which at the next step it is a process making practice. Where there is a will, there is a way. Believe yourself, and do the best work!
