Answer 1

Sign Language it help with patients that are deaf and mute.

Answer 2

You learned Spanish which is a great language to know in the U.S right now. One thing you should do is find out the population of different races in your local are or where you plan to do bussiness so that you can learn languages popular there. That will greatly help you in the Business world. Since you already know a little Japanese learn more of that then once youv mastered that try Chinese. If you have Japanese down other languages should be really easy to learn. Then if you have even more time on your hands French and Russian would help. It all depends where you live.

Answer 3

Depends on where you're looking to work. In the US English and Spanish is usually enough to get great pay. However I would suggest German because 1: It's the second most popular language on the internet today (second only to English) 2: It's a great language. Or I would suggest French just becuase I enjoyed learning that.

Answer 4

Well, it's a great thing that you kno SPanish a nd Eng. You should now try to perfect Japanese, since you know some of it.

ALso, i think Chinese and Arabic would be wonderful languages to learn, considering the fact that China's economy is on the rise and the the fact that Middle East is always on the news, it would be ideal if you knew some Arabic.

Even India is on the rise, yet consider yourself lucky that you do not need to learn Urdu/Hindi since India was once teh colony of Britain and mostly 90% of Indians know how to speak English.

Answer 5

No Point learning Indian language, Indian speak fluent English, You want to concentrate on cultures tha dont have english as a first or second language

Answer 9

Mandarin, Japanese or any Indian language. All of them are having economy booms and will be leading the world of business soon enough. Latin is also useful in medicine but I think that would be a waste of time unless you enjoy the culture side to it too.

Answer 10

learning one or more languages is good but what for english is universally used on most of the countries in the world so i think their should be no urgency to learn some other languages unless their is a significant use for you.

Answer 11

I would learn Mandarin...
also depending upon what area you live in... what's the second (or third if Spanish is the second) most widely used language that would benefit you to know?

Anyway, Mandarin Chinese is becoming really important..
