Is English that important for Lebanese Designers?
I
love to communicate with others, get to know new people, listen to them, to their success stories, funny moments and their problems. And I enjoy helping others,
maybe give them some ideas as solutions.
There is a little bridge between that
and my major. I studied Graphic Design and I earned my master degree in 2016. Design
it is all about finding solution to problems, and projecting the message
through visuals. But honestly all what was making university and school worse
is
ENGLISH!!
I
really hate language. I think it is a waste of time. I do not see a sense of
someone learning English, French or even Arabic as a major in university!
We
all grow up in a certain culture where they teach us how to speak and write, so
at the end the logic, you need to learn something new, why going deep into a
certain language:P
You
can feel the problem through my English here, which is not THAT BAD!! OK!
Through
time, I asked many of my surroundings,
HOW SHOULD I MAKE MY SELF BETTER IN
ENGLISH!?
The
answer was watch movies, do conversations, read music lyrics…
This
is a bad myth, because I did all that and I do not see any improvements!
At
least I stand up and say I am not that good but I want to learn! I want to
write! I want to tell stories! And I can’t, I feel there is something missing! I
need more time to reach a level where I can write, or sing: P
Let
me tell you something. English is very important not just for high school or
university. Not just for international meetings! It is the universal language
and it is used in catalogues, billboard, posters, videos, social media
platforms, it is used so everyone can understand. And as a designer, I need to
write a title for my poster, or a copy in a magazine in English because my
target is not just the people living in my country, maybe the people visiting
as well! ( it is not my job to do the copy, as a designer I am responsible for
my design and not the copy, the person who write the copy is the copywriter or
it might be provided by the client. But it will be great if I had the power to
do it :P )
Dam,
this is great J I feel relief, I know I am
talking to my self here:P but dam this is good :P
There
is once a person in my class wrote an essay and said the following:
“ when his name becomes his name…” what was that!! Yeah, and he say he is good in English :P
“ when his name becomes his name…” what was that!! Yeah, and he say he is good in English :P
↓ !Conclusion! ↓
Dear
all,
do not skip English classes even if you are engineers, designers, doctors,
architects…, you might use this power someday to be at your side and not on the
opposite. As in an interview, if someone is speaking English better than you,
he might think you are not smart, you are not cultured, you are not creative, you are not at the level,…
Regarding me, i will keep writing here, and reading to as better as i can :)
