Answer 1

German; it is the most widely spoken language in the EU (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc.) and many other languages in Europe are very similar (Scandinavian and Danish). One thing in common about all those countries is that they are economically sound (there is a North-South divide economically in the EU), so I'd expect German to suit you best.



Yes, French is spoken by more of the world's population, but mainly in the undeveloped world (Africa), where jobs pay just a little less. Spain, Portugal and Italy (the Romantic countries) are not so great for jobs at the moment - there is 25% unemployment in Spain, for example..

Answer 2

My own job opportunities have come from knowing Portuguese, Spanish and French, in that order. I have also found my rather poorer German, Dutch, Russian and Welsh to have been of occasional use, but I most appreciate having learned Latin and still resent that my school never taught Greek.

My daughter uses English in her international business contacts, but finds she needs German, French and Italian to get past the PA person or other who actually picks up the phone in the first place. These languages are also useful for her to eavesdrop on what the other side are whispering among themselves and she is frustrated in this by having no Arabic.

But so much depends on individual situations and opportunities. Any Canadian needs French, any American needs Spanish, any South African needs Afrikaans, and Ozzie needs Mandarin, and any Brit should pay most attention to German. Snobbery worldwide still assumes that, besides English, any educated person just has to have good French. .

Answer 3

It greatly depends on what area you live in. I am from Arizona and Spanish is the second most spoken language here and I encounter it on an almost daily basis. I know if I spoke Spanish fluently, it would greatly advance my job opportunities. If I were you, I wouldn't learn a language that you'll never use because then you'll forget it anyway. The only way to stay fluent in a language is to use it often.

Answer 4

Depends where you live and what you plan to do. In America, Spanish would be most helpful. Around the world, French would be most helpful. If in Europe, then German would be helpful.



You already started with German though. The thing about it is, while I have seen German increase in popularity over the years, it is still mostly confined to Europe. Countries that speak German tend to have the strongest economies, however all of this means nothing unless you plan on moving.

Answer 5

Learning any language will give you an edge in your career. German as it one of the most spoken languages of Europe but Spanish and French can compete on the same scale in terms of magnitude of speakers. Its nice that you registered on coursera (its a great platform but beware of some cyberstalkers on the course forum).

Answer 8

Sometimes it depends on your career. But I don't think German will be helpful to you. Try leaning Spanish or French.
