It's important to be able to communicate in the language that your job requires. Number one is that all businesses, somewhere, have customers. If customers aren't happy, then they go somewhere else to get the service. One way companies can keep customers happy is to make sure that their employees read, write and speak fluently in a particular language. It's unfortunate your sister lost her job, but this is a learning experience for you and for her; the company requires a language skill set that she doesn't have, so now she knows what to work on. You can work to improve your language set to meet the level of fluency required. Good luck!

Being able to speak a language clearly is valuable for almost every job out there. Reading and writing it in a clear, concise manner that people can understand easily is also a valuable skill. If you have opportunity and ability to learn more than your native language it can open up additional doors for careers and just meeting different people. Speaking with and understanding others (and being understood) is critical to any role you might take on.
Improving language skills can be as simple as practicing it with other people. Reading and writing practice, could be as simple as keeping a journal. Many areas have people willing to work on language lessons whether free (volunteer groups for example) or at a cost (courses).
From my personal experience, I traveled to Japan as a student. Before going I tried to learn the most basic bits of reading and writing (my name, common locations, please/thank you, and other simple phrases). I listened to audio recordings to try to understand how to speak it. While I was there I talked to other students, assisted in the school's English language classes, and went to evening language lessons. Sometimes it was frustrating, but without putting in the effort I would not have improved at all.
