[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Haven't read the whole thread, but I teach high school (not Spanish or French, so have no dog in this fight). Recently we had an assembly at which there was a guest speaker from an agency that does lobbying for language education/funding, and who also works as a translator/language headhunter. She said that French is in far more demand than many other languages and that there is actually a shortage of French speakers in the U.S. business world. I was surprised to hear this. Someone asked specifically about Chinese, and she said French is a better bet than Chinese, job-wise. She said a lot of people think that French's era is over, but it isn't at all. FWIW. [/quote]
