Hi, I'm getting into a bachelor of international business program in university, and I have a choice of French, German, Japanese, Mandarin or Spanish for languages to learn the course in and study abroad in.

French, I just don't like and do not want to learn, ever since grade 2

German, people tell me this is a dead language, and not one for the future

Japanese, I don't know much about it

Mandarin, well some people say that China will be a major player in the future, but it seems to me that they already have 1.3 billion of themselves to handle themselves, and everyone will be in on the chinese, so i'm not sure if thats where i want to go

Spanish, It's very widely spoken, and is also 1 of those 3 big languages of the future (eng, mand, span). It seems like a nice interesting language, and simple enough from what i've seen.


What language should i learn to focus on business? I'm not sure whether I want to focus on marketing/trade, investing/banking, or hr/management yet, but i can get that afterwards.

It will really help me in the course to start learning the language ahead of time so i'm just looking to the future, what language do you think i should learn?

you can value any information only if you see what it is connected to.


spanish is one of the 3 of the future for the poor, not for business.

madarin means corruption, so you can´t trust translations.

japanese means licking balls until you can make business.

german is number 2 in the internet, and internet means business.

french is mostly appreciated by arabs, and that means money.
