Most useful language to learn for Geology

Applying to College
1

<p>As the thread says. I currently know Chinese and English. I know this is a rather broad question but maybe some extra info would help. </p>

<p>Very interested in furthering studies in Glaciers and Anatarctica/Arctic/Alaska. There are glaciers on every continent and i'm not sure where my travels would take me. Does Geology in general have a language that is useful throughout most or all of it's disciplines?</p>

<p>Is it too early though? Maybe learn a language, like Spanish, which is widely used in the US, where I will probably be staying in for the next 5+ years. Then maybe learning other languages depending on where I end up in or go to.</p>

<p>All advice appreciated.</p>

<p>Does Geology in general have a language that is useful throughout most or all of it’s disciplines? Apart from English, no. French, German, Spanish, Norwegian, Russian and Arabic would all be useful depending on where you worked and what you did.</p>
