> 意図は、毎日語学の仕事していますから、たぶん全体的に語学力よくなる。

I want to say something like "my intended meaning was that since I will work
with languages, it may improve my general language ability."

Does this make sense? Are 意図 and 全体的に語学力 used correctly?




The short answer for your usage questions is:

意図{いと｝は、: doesn't make sense.

全｛ぜん｝体｛たい｝的｛てき｝に語｛ご｝学｛がく｝力{りょく}: makes sense.

My answer depends on the context of your sentence. Stand alone text vs. a
larger body of text.

1.私が言いたいのは、毎日語学の仕事をしているから、全体的に語学力があがるでしょう。

Sentence #1 would make more sense with 「意図は、」or 「私が言いたいのは、」if your sentence
was accompanied by a larger body of text. If you simply have 「意図は、」at the
start of a sentence with no accompanying text the reader will question what
'intention' you are talking about.

※ Also instead of using たぶん, which is more of a spoken word, I would suggest
using おそらく accompanied with でしょう to provide the same sense of doubt you're
expressing with たぶん while being more correct and polite. (As mentioned in
other answers: volitional form)

2.毎日語学の仕事をする意図は、語学力が全体的によくなる可｛か｝能｛のう｝性｛せい｝があるからです。

Sentence #2 makes more sense as a stand alone sentence versus being included
in a larger body of text. In this example 'intention' is moved to the rear of
the first part of the sentence letting the reader understand the context of
your 意図・'intention' more clearly. Kind of like what I mentioned above in
regards to starting the sentence with 意図 except in reverse it makes sense.

Notes:

意図 ー 本当の意味、本当の目的とする所、等

意図's meaning is closely tied into that of 意味.
