The Finer Points Of A Bilingual Private Investigator

By Michael Ward


Everyone has secrets, dirty little things that they would rather keep hidden, keep away from prying eyes. Maybe because it is something that could ruin a career, take for example politics. Many politicians have been brought down because of having affairs that resulted in natural born children. But the thing about those dirty little secrets is that never stay secret, at some point in time, they will all come out like a courageous queer during pride month. Things never stay hidden, not for long. Many times those little shames are uncovered by a bilingual private investigator.

In short, private investigators are detectives. Unlike detectives on the police force however, they do not do what they do to protect and serve. They do what they do to make money. As such, they are not putting themselves in the line of fire to catch murderers. They mostly expose the affairs of cheating husbands. Depending on the jurisdiction, they may carry firearms. The really fancy variant will eschew the private investigator title altogether and prefer to be referred to as a risk management specialist.

Bilingualism is, at its core, being able to talk in more than one language. Now, there is a scale to this. One end of the scale is knowing some basic words and phrases in a second language. But the other end is being fluent in two dialects. Now, the other end of scale exists on its own spectrum, with one end being conversational and the other being essentially a native speaker.

The most common avenue towards bilingualism is to be the offspring of an immigrant or two, where they will often converse in the local tongue of the country their parents moved to, while also speaking the dialect of the native country of their parents. This is a particularly effective means of becoming bilingual because this exposes an individual to multiple languages during the years when the brain has not fully developed speech.

The main advantage of bilingualism is speaking. A person who is bilingual will be able to talk to a wider array of people. For a private investigator, this is vital as it will attract a whole new customer base. This also allows them to better blend into certain communities.

Given that private investigators are often small business owners, they have to make a profit. Now, they will charge a fee, either an hourly rate or a daily rate. Now, being bilingual may allow them to jack up their rate, as having an extra skill can make them a premium service provider.

The thing about a professional is that the client can expect the job to get done. So it is very important to look into the background of a PI, to see if they have the skills needed to get the job done. This can be accomplished with a simple internet search.

A PI must be able to keep secret. Most people cannot keep a secret, but a PI has to be better. They have to be able to not blurt out the things that their client would rather not have blurted out.

The world is built on information. But there are things that some would rather now have known. But there professionals who can bring those things to light.
