How to Make Money with English Language Skills + iTalki Lessons 

in this blog we're going to talk about how to

turn your English language skills into

profits now I know that a lot of you

love learning English as a hobby or just

for the joy of learning because you love

English language because it's fun and it

helps you connect with people it helps

us connect with each other in the go

natural English community online but

what if you could actually profit from

your language skills I think you can

especially when you reach the

intermediate or the advanced level so

let's talk about some of the ways that

I've been able to use language in my

career and how you can do that too I

want to let you know that this episode

is brought to you by our sponsor I

talkie you can learn how to get to

online English lessons for the price of

one it's a special offer for the go

natural English audience at go natural

English calm / I talkie alright so let's

get into it English is an amazing

important skill to have no matter what

job you're doing no matter what career

you're in if you're working with people

who are from different countries who

speak different languages if you're

working in a field like travel and

tourism or business or science health or

information technology you know how

important English is as our

international language are our common

language that we use to communicate and

there's more non-native English speakers

in the world than native speakers so it

just goes to show how everyone's using

english for a lot of different reasons

so that aside using english in any job

aside what are some specific ways that

you can now use your English language

skills to not only help other people not

only just enjoy speaking English which

is um

amazing in and of itself but how could

you actually make money I mean we need

money to live right you probably have to

pay rent or buy food right so it's nice

to think of different ways that you

might make money that you enjoy too so

here's what I've done several years ago

like actually a long long time ago I

learned Spanish language Spanish is a

foreign language for me I didn't grow up

speaking it and I started by

volunteering to help Spanish speakers

learn English so think about this for

you maybe this would mean you would

volunteer to help English speakers learn

your native language and that for me at

first it was something i was doing for

free but then it turned into a paying

job for me i went on to teach spanish

for several years and that was a

full-time paid job for me and i really

enjoyed it eventually as you know i came

back to teaching my native language

english and that's something that you

can do as well especially if you're

confident in your fluency and you could

help someone maybe from your own country

who speaks your own language you could

really explain the nuances of english in

a way that they'll understand in a way

that maybe a native english teacher

couldn't do so there are some benefits

to teaching english even if it's your

foreign language you could help your

students in a different way okay so you

could become a tutor or a teacher of

either English or of your native

language but helping English speakers by

explaining your native language in

English of course there's completely

different jobs that you could do that

don't involve teaching maybe if you

think you would enjoy working with

documents or interpreting in different

situations for interviews or at the

doctor's office or in a court of law you

could be an interpreter or a translator

now I'm not going to say that's easy

it's not you have to

earn specialized vocabulary so this is

something that you need to train for and

make sure that you're really good at it

because people's lives could be in your

hands especially if you're doing medical

interpretation but that is a strong job

a strong career that you need language

skills for so your English skills can

benefit you there now another

interesting option is look at go natural

English youtube channel you could do

something similar you could make video

tutorials to help people to learn

something and you could use English to

teach them so maybe you're teaching

English in your videos like we do here

at go natural English or maybe you're

teaching your native language or maybe

you're helping people with something

completely different maybe you're

teaching them how to knit for example

but you're explaining it in English how

much fun would that be I mean you must

have a hobby or passion that you could

share with people through English and

you could do that using YouTube so

you're probably wondering ok Gabi I can

share my interest on sites but how is

that a paid job well here's the thing

there's different ways that you can make

money when you start to create things so

if you create videos you could

potentially have sponsors on your videos

or you could make money through YouTube

ads or maybe you create a course or an

e-book or maybe you offer your tutoring

services and those are all ways that you

can start to make money with your

youtube channel as a base so I just

wanted to share some of the things that

I've done with language that have

provided an income for me because I know

there's a lot of people curious I get a

lot of questions these days from English

teachers and from other people in other

fields asking me what's your business

what do you do I want to know more i'm

curious so i wanted to share a little

bit with you and if you have any

questions you can

and let me know leave them in the comments

and get in touch and remember if you

need to work on your English skills a

little bit more before you start earning

from them I would suggest that you take
