Working With Languages | Multilingual Careers across Industries from Translator and Language Teacher to Linguist and Other Job Types21 Aug 2025

Introducing: Working With Languages

Hello, I'm Sonia Kampshoff, and I'd like to welcome you to Working with Languages.

I started this podcast to explore what it really means to build a career with language skills today. It goes far beyond the traditional roles of translation and teaching. I’m fascinated by how languages empower us to connect and achieve specific goals in almost any professional environment.

In each episode, I sit down with a new guest to discuss their unique career path. Here’s what we'll explore together:

Why languages are a superpower in today's competitive job market
How they fit into diverse industries and roles you might never have considered
Where our human skills stand next to the rapid rise of AI
How you can make languages a valuable and meaningful part of your career

If you're ready to be inspired, I invite you to join our conversations. Listen and subscribe to Working with Languages now on your favourite podcast app!
