By the way, regarding your question.
Spanish, French, German and Russian are all solid languages to learn, depending on your goals.
French, Russian and German are good if you are very interested in mathematics and/or physics.

Chinese is good if you want to have an international business.

Spanish is just very widely spoken.

For example if someone's qualification is business or law that applies to the UK, what is the point of learning a language other than English if most of their prospects would be there?

what a great ass, I must say

You're right about her ass joao

If you want to deal with a clientele comprised of foreigners. It's common that a lot of people from around the world have business interests in the UK, and banks and law firms often have people that are able to speak multiple languages, because it's easier to get the client to feel friendly and go with your company for legal/financial advice.

if you dont speak mandarin or have somebody who speaks mandarin working for your business you literally cant do shit retard island negro

If you’re only studying a language for the sake of pragmatism you’ll lose interest pretty quick. From an economic and job market point of view, English is all you need.

Nevertheless it can be a fun hobby. Learning a foreign language is like learning to play an instrument. Will it ever get you anywhere? No, probably not, but it’s still fun to do.

What languages would be the best to learn then for someone who wants to work in those banks and law places for business purposes

learn latin so you can dab on the commoners

Pretty sure learning french and russian would be worth the time investments for myself, just for the art and literature alone. Also it's nice to be able to converse with the locals when traveling, at least to some extent. People tend to become much more hospitable too when you can show that you have genuine interest in their culture rather than being there just for the instagram updates.

If all you do is sit at home all day every day and only watch dubbed movies then I guess it really wouldn't matter, but is that really life anyway.

damn she ugly

If you try to learn a language for no reason apart from usefulness or easiness instead of the one that really draws you, then there is a very high chance that will end up learning neither language, ever.

Exterior motivations like economical considerations or an utilitarian outlook are very weak in motivating a person to learn a language compared to those that come from within, like an intellectual interest, cultural affinity or linguistic curiosity.

In fact these motivations aren't sometimes even enough and in many cases too fleeting (if they don't border obsession!) Actually, Language learning also requires discipline and good habit formation skills. So, what kind of person are you? Do you think there is enough to bridge the Interest gap with discipline and habit? Do you really think you could learn to love the language by construction a vector of interest in finding some aspect of the target language that could motivate you? Will the available exposure to the language you have create a positive feedback loop that can keep you motivated.

The sad truth is that foreign language skills, in isolation(in just one or two languages for example), don't have a very high return of investment compared to the potential time investment in any other professional skill that could be honed in order to make money but they can be a big plus to any other skill(s) you might possess.

This doesn't mean that language study can not be a very rewarding experience, however.

Indeed, there seems to be this strange expectation that the study of foreign languages can't be just done for pleasure or self-improvement. No one will tell you to stop playing guitar, saying that it is useless but this is something people say about foreign language study all the time.

If you take your studies seriously and make the conscious(!) decision to put your language to use, then the first few phrases you clumsily string together might be your first steps into the discovery a whole new world, one that you weren't even aware of in the first place.

If you want to make money, it's been proven that people with more languages earn more. You could also become a translator or interpreter, which is what I chose to do.

It's not all about money though. By understanding a language you open up a door to foreign cultures and you get way more foreign poon by speaking their language.
