Re: Best Non-English Language to Learn for Business

Are you talking global marketability? If so, I'd recommend Spanish.

If your are talking about local marketability, look to the most common 
language spoken in your area.

As I recall, the language spoken by the largest segment of the world is 
Chinese. I believe Spanish comes in as number two.

What ever language you choose, you must consider the medium. You may 
have to be pretty fluent, especially if you choose a "written" medium.
