How to hire a great freelance Papiamento Expert
Papiamento is a fascinating Creole language that combines elements from a variety of well-known languages including English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Arawakan and a few African dialects. Although it is not one of the commonly heard of languages around the world, it is widely spoken in several regions including Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands.
Papiamento and Dutch are the official languages of Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire so if you are visiting any of these countries on business or even if you are conducting business with these countries from a remote location you should learn at least the basics of the language. Of course the more mastery you gain over this interesting language, the easier it will be for you to conduct your business negotiations with your counterparts in these countries.
The one problem you are likely to encounter when trying to learn Papiamento is that unlike some other languages, there aren’t very many courses in your neighborhood that you can enroll in to learn this language. While you may be able to find a few online courses, this is a language that requires you to have a tutor who is conversant in Papiamento because of the way it is spoken.
Though it is quite easy to master, Papiamento is essentially a tonal language. The high-low tone and low-high tone in which it is spoken cannot be learnt simply by reading or even just by listening. You need someone to guide you along and correct your pronunciation.
When you want to learn Papiamento, your best option is to hire a professional who speaks the language. Many people who speak this language offer their services through freelance sites such as Freelancer.com. Using this site to look for an expert who speaks Papiamento offers you several benefits over the other alternatives available.
Take a look at how it works and the benefits you will enjoy when you hire a Papiamento expert on Freelancer.com:
You create an account on the site Freelancer.com.
After signing up with the site, you can post a project looking for individuals who are willing to teach you how to speak Papiamento.
Include as many details as possible in the project brief. For example, are you looking just to learn the basics or do you want to master the language? Are you looking for a crash course or do you want to learn it over a period of time? How much time are you willing to spend?
Depending on your requirements you will receive bids from experts who are willing to teach you the language on your terms.
With your expert you can discuss the schedule and terms so you can move at a pace that is comfortable for you. After every session, you will be given some homework that will help you improve your pronunciation and grammar.
When you hire a Papiamento expert on Freelancer.com, you can continue taking the lessons for as long as you want to or you can take just a few lessons to learn the basics and discontinue after that. It’s all up to you unlike other set classes where you have to pay exorbitant fees for the whole program even if all you are interested in is just learning the basic language. On Freelancer.com, you have control over the pace, the duration and the fees as well!
