which foreign language to learn for ACCA student - ausmanpk2001 - 12-29-2009

Hi all. I'm an ACCA Student working with a mid tier accountancy firm trying to move to a big4 soon.
My question is which foreign language would be helpful for my career in the future. What language do you think would best help me to get job & progress further abroad preferably in a big4 around the globe.

Some suggestions are Arabic (used in the gulf region), Spanish (south america), chinese, dutch!!!!!!

What do you say? Especially the senior members.

With all due respect, perfect your English... I also one though of learning spanish or german but finally came to the aforementioned conclusion

You already know English, You must now Learn Arabic to capture Middle East Market.

German and dutch are more specific preferable if you are applying to settle there.

Depends on where do you wanna go. A good English is must. For middle East learning Arabic would be an advantage, for German germany, etc etc
