Hello, I'm french and not interested by foreign languages until now because I had bad teachers in school. It's not an excuse because, currently, I'm in a training to specialize in my job and we have english courses with a great professor who motivates us well. Now I love to learn new languages and I want to add a third.. And it's my problem : which language to choose ? It's hard to choose for me because I'm really open to other cultures / civilizations and I like discover others people (even when I wasn't interested by languages). Some friends advice me to learn German because Germany is our first partner in France. Other people tell me to learn Spanish because it's most usefull in the world in general. In my opinion, maybe it's "useless" to learn common languages for an european (like spanish or german) because all people speak english in business. And maybe it's a good idea to learn a language of the country that play a role more and more important in the world economy such as Russian, Brazil, etc... (the BRICS). What do you think ? Thank you
