I am a Chinese American, so I am bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese.
I started learning Spanish in 5th grade (I am now off to college this Sept.), and scored a 5 on the AP exam.
From my perspective, Spanish doesn?t seem like a very useful language in international business outside of the United States. After all, most Spanish-speaking countries are third world.
Right now, the rising economic giants are all in Asia (specifically, India and China). I was considering learning Hindi, but because India used to be an English colony, don?t most businessmen already speak English well?
I?m also assuming that most European businessmen speak English fairly well too.
I am seriously considering putting aside my Spanish studies and picking up a more useful language like Japanese (Japan is an economic powerhouse, and its geography causes it to be isolated so that not many Japanese speak English well) or Korean.
What are the three to five most useful languages for int?l business?
