<p>****… didn’t know they were going to group all the asian languages together</p>

<p>WHICH ONE DO I TAKE? Jesus!</p>

<p>Any languages that would be especially useful in finance?</p>

<p>No. The only time a foreign language would be useful in Finance would be if you were actually born/raised in that particular region. Finance jargon is technical jargon, so while 4 semesters might make you conversationally fluent, there is no way you’d be competent enough to translate technical financial documents.</p>

<p>@scott, if you’re asking if a particular language would be useful for the corporate finance world (as opposed to finance jargon, it wasn’t completely clear), then it would be languages that predominate in growing countries. while english is the primary language spoken in the corporate world today, basic mandarin chinese, german, or spanish would be helpful.</p>
