LAOAG CITY—Reaching out to the Ilokanos, a new language school and training center is now in the city offering Nihongo and German languages to interested applicants.

Located at the heart of city, the Talaytayan Language and Training Centre Inc. is now accepting enrollees who wish to learn a foreign language for a better employment here and abroad.

Founded by Riza Tongson-Espe, a specialist nurse who is now based in London, United Kingdom, the Talaytayan Language Center-Laoag branch aims to cater to students, caregivers, nurses or whoever that is interested to study Japanese or German languages.

Research study shows that Japanese is one of the five hardest languages to learn, along with Arabic, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese. However, the Talaytayan Language Center has designed a comprehensive and convenient way to teach foreign languages.

According to Ms. Espe, who is a native of Piddig, Ilocos Norte, thousands of health care jobs await Filipinos in Japan and in other parts of the country and one of the better ways to get one of those jobs is to have a knowledge of the foreign language.

But instead of going to Metro Manila, residents here may consider enrolling at the Talaytayan Center-Laoag Branch and avail of some scholarship opportunities.

“What we are trying to advocate here in the north is to educate everyone about the importance of acquiring multi-language education,” Ms. Espe underscored.

As of this posting, the Talaytayan Center is now on the process of securing accreditation with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Once accredited, TESDA provincial director Charito Santos said the government can provide scholarship grants to interested applicants.

Under the Technical Intern Training Program for caregivers for example, the Japan government has allowed caregivers from the Philippines and other countries as a trainee but they can work as a caregiver for at least three years at nursing homes in Japan and receive regular salary and if they are good workers, they can extend their stay for two years more.

However, applicants must pass a Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).

“You don’t need to be a college graduate or a license caregiver if you want to apply but having a caregiver work experience may have some advantage in recruitment,” said Clark Dexter Badaran, chairman of the Philippine Human Resource Global Information Center (PHRGIC) which is partnering with Talaytayan along with SAGE Asian Language and Education Center (SALAEC).
