Security work can fit the bill. I must emphasize "can" though. Some positions involve
more work than others...

In the best case scenario you can find security jobs where you have about an hour of real
work out of eight and the rest of the time you can read books, do what you want with your
phone, and maybe even bring your laptop to work. Even if you end up with the more work-
heavy positions you might just have the chance to practice speaking (doubly so for
Spanish, but you probably don't have any trouble with that anyway)

You want so much to learn languages that you accept to do any job that can give you
more
time for this, even if this is not your passion.

But it turns out that we should love our work, because it's something we do for an
incredible amount of hours. I'm glad I love mine, because I will have to do it for at
least 35 years, let's say 72.000 hours!!!

I made my passion (computer science) my work. It costed a lot of strain and study.

If foreign languages are your passion you should make it your work. (Unless this is
already what you're trying to do it with your plan, in that case, well done bro!)
These are of course only my 2 cents.


I made a mess and edited the old post. blah.

If you're at a decent enough level in a language, you could try to find a job working with
people who speak your target language. A friend of mine learning Spanish in university worked
the strawberry fields near her city alongside migrant workers, and said that it really
helpped her.

A job in a popular tourist place where you sell something or make some kind of services for tourists from different
countries. I have noticed that those people speak several languages at least at A1-A2 level and most successful of
them always try to figure out where are you from and speak with you on your language.

"Independently Wealthy" is a great job for learning languages. Sadly my career adviser never offered this to me as an option.

:(

Well, a career in the diplomatic service could be an option.
Use of Language in Diplomacy

In the UK, the government reopened the Foreign Office Language School last year.
