I like learning languages, and am wondering what jobs would require you to know more than 1 extra foreign language?

It's not required but the healthcare field definitely prefers it!

My husband, when he was a teen in Japan in the 1950s, was taught French by a native Spanish speaker I think multiple languages would come in handy teaching English or one of the other languages in another country to English-speakers or non.

Or, you could be a corporate spy My girlfriend knew French and German and worked in the pastry/chocolate businesses and her clients did not know she spoke those languages so would talk in their native language, thinking they were "safe".

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
