[quote=Anonymous]French is spoken by many Middle Eastern elites. There is quite a bit of growth and development going on in that area, so I could see a use for knowing French in international business. In regards to Spanish. There are so many different dialects spoken. The Spanish that is taught in schools is based on Castillan Spanish, which differs from the Spanish spoken in many of the Latin American countries, especially Mexico. Peruvian and Colombian Spanish are the closest to Castillan Spanish outside of Spain. Anecdote: In college, I had Mexican American friends study abroad in Spain who hated their experiences as the Spaniards preferred to speak English with them as they viewed Mexican Spanish as not being true Spanish.
