[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one cares about German. If it was Russian or Chinese or Arabic he'd have interest. [/quote] False. The older approach of colleges and universities was to offer the triad of French, German, and Spanish. Spanish was required because that it was considered to be of daily use in America and even more true today with population shift. French and German were required because original research was often done in those languages -which is exactly what my DC is doing now for his DPhil research at Oxford Colleges today like to pride themselves on creating citizens of the world who will be working with people of many countries, Hence UVA offers something like 60 languages But if you only want a language for business use and employment then, yes, i would go with Chinese, Russian, etc.[/quote]
