Most Useful Second Language For Banking??

im going to CASS as well...i was also thinking of doing a another language though would prefer to brush up my basic-intermediate french (i think i will do the french... )
I thought spanish would be great for a second language due to its wide use and "compatibility" with other european languages like Portuguese and Italian (and to a lesser extent Romanian and French).

Note that banks a second language is only useful if you are completely fluent in it, not 'intermediate' GCSE/A-Level standard - imagine if you're a client and the businessman can only speak poor broken English.

Hi, whilst im at Cass next year doing Banking and International Finance i want to learn another language to help me when applying for internships.

Im thinking of doing German- would this be wise? Is there another language that would eb useful in 4-5 years time? Mandarin/Chinese?

thanks!

Gotta start somewhere though!

Personally I'm going to be taking German classes if I end up at York, (not sure what Nottingham have though)

My theory is that you only learn a language if you embrace a culture associated with it: you've got to want to read in that language, watch films in that language, even listen to music in that language and especially visit the country.
Noone learns just through lessons.
