In your country, along with your studies/Employment, learning the other country languages, do you think is the good for the future..? For example, In india, the people like students, the Engineers to learn the Chinesh Language, Korea Language, Taiwan Language, Japanies Language or German Language in addition to their studies/employment, is very good for their future know.. because I know one of my neibour who is working in a company as a Production Engineer, he has studied the German Language by paying Rs.5000/- p.m. weekly 3 classes, each class around 1 hour. After one year, he got an offer from Germany, out of 8500 people only 3 people got selected for that post, our neibour is one of those Three, this is due to he learn the German Language.. So, according to me, learning the other country language is the additional recognition, and additional qualification and also an added advantages, when you have got the offer on those countries. What is your opinion about this topic of the discussion..?? Post your comments..

My friend, always learning other country language helps value adding your profile and will never degrade your profile. The more languages you know, the more you can demand. As far as chennai is concerned, learning languages like spanish, french, german or japanese, attracts nice offers. I had seen few of my B.com friends earning more than 7 to 8 lakhs by knowing french and german.

Now I'm living in Italy and all international people I know speak 3/4 languages. I've chosen to study Italian, because I love this language, but not only for this reasone, in my field (design) was very important to have a professional course in Italy, where design born (a link for more information http://www.aboutitaliandesign.info/). Maybe it depends on what you would like to do,but I agree it's better to learn a specific language, because I think many people can speak english / french / spanish (especially in Europe) but less people can speak Italian, Greek, German, Swedish, Finnish etc.

Learning things that challenge you or are rather different than what you know or what you normally do is a very good thing.Learning another language is something that helps you learn a different sounding way of communication you are not aware of.So it is like an exercise for your brain which is good.Also if you look at it from a career point of view too it helps a lot especially if you are learning some of the foreign languages that have a great standing in the market and are in huge demand.

Knowing another language definitely increases a person's potential for future job offers, as well as gives them the feeling of self-satisfaction. Also, when visiting a country that speaks that language, a person might not feel like such a foreigner. I plan on learning Swedish, and it will help me, because I plan to move there after college. I want to be a psychologist, and it will probably be easier on the patients if they do not have the additional stress of having to think in English when speaking to me. =D Congratulations to your neighbor. :D

I think each and every language you learn make your portfolio much better. I think you should learn any European language(except English) because very less people goes to these countries. Everybody wants to go to USA,UK,Canada or Australia.
