Well, I think that would probably make a nice interpretation of the socialism rather than the capitalism. Indeed, one of the major purposes of a unionized environment would be to reduce competition and "let the people keep their jobs", so to speak. The capitalism would rather promote the competition and the reduction of prices for the consumers. A native foreign language speaker is not always a substitute for a formal language study, however a formal language study outside an environment where a foreign language is natively used usually produces deaf-mute students. It's obvious, the two options are complimentary to each other. Would that mean some (or a lot) of the domestically-educated language teachers won't be able to keep their jobs? Absolutely. Well, the Westerners sometimes complain the foreigners are coming to their country to steal their jobs, so that is only fair. There are other areas of human business in which the working knowledge of several languages is required.

You know, a situation where the supply exceeds the demand is called an overproduction. Not a rare thing in capitalism. The only way to survive in that competition is either become one of the best, or lower the prices, or switch to another area. One of the first things a student in a capitalist country learns is the fact there's no guarantee whatsoever he or she would be employed in their selected profession. Don't fight it - embrace it. And you'll do fine.
