Spanish.
Chinese and Japanese are great if you plan on writing a Hollywood screenplay about big business. But if you plan to actually work in international business, you definitely want Spanish.

Well since you said you're going to be in international business,
For Europe I would say, German or French (German is a Big business language) For Asia I would say Chinese, Hindi or Japanese.
and there are others to but those are some of the best.
Hope it Helps

Asia, particulary China, is going to play a major role in the world economy going forward. I would recommend either Chinese, Japanese, or even Hindi, as India is increasing on the world economy stage. If I had to pick one, I would say Chinese.

Spanish, 'cause it's everywhere... but I prefer you learn a little here and there. Like they said, Chinese, Japanese, etc... you have to think about how businesses are in the world of course....

For business, probably Japanese. I think Spanish is useful also.

preferably Italian.
Italian, Spanish, and French are the romance languages.

If you are going into business i recommend either Spanish or Chinese.

German because it's Europe's best economy and because germans don't speak anyother language but german, but they are definately the nicest people i have ever met and i didn't even understand a word they were saying to me.
