<p>I am majoring in Finance and International Business, and having a minor in Spanish as well as Italian/French.</p>

<p>What would you all think? I would much rather do Italian, but French is more useful? I would love to learn Italian. It is closer to Spanish (which I am fluent in) than French, but still, I am unsure.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Also, is Russian useful at all in the business world? Worth studying? Thanks!</p>

<p>*** Please do not go into learning Chinese, Japanese, or Arabic. I know these are popular business languages, but I do NOT want to learn them. Nothing against them culturally, but I just find them extremely difficult and I want to be fluent (as much as possible) in a language, and I don't think I could do it with these. Thank you for understanding this.</p>

<p>the language you minor in should be based on where you plan to work business wise. if you want to go into french markets then learn french if you want to go into italian business markets then go into italian. However it would be more prudent to learn another language than isn’t apart of the romance trifecta since you already know spanish. German would be useful since they are major players in the european markets or you could try portuguese since then that would open up the brazilian market as well as portugal to you which is much more complementary to the fact you already know spanish</p>
