What can be the best answer in an interview asking you why you want to to take european languages as a course?
545308
To expand your knowledge and understanding of different cultures.  \n\nBut, also, in an effort to make yourself that much more desireable as a future employee.  Being fluent in multiple languages broadens the scope of your search for future employment as more and more employers are searching for bi-lingual employees; and in many areas tri-lingual is required.

That's a bonus question, try to talk about something that you did and with which you are very comfortable with. Say for example, you had done some thesis or research work, and you tell them about it. By default, their question will be on that thesis, which is something you know a lot about.\nSo, its an opportunity to steer the interview in whatever direction you want to, use it well!

There are no best words to use but most of the questions can be anticipated. Think of how you would want to answer them beforehand so you say something interesting. For example, tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here etc... The above listed book is very good.

I speak English, Bulgarian, Russian, Spanish, Italian, French; studied Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese and Farsi...\n\nI can't even BEGIN to list the advantages that weren't even mentioned in the previous replies. But just for the sake of showing some effort, here are a couple of things that make you really appreciate understanding (and using, eventually) a foreign language:\n\nI. Humour (you learn to "get" all the jokes). This is also the shortest way to make friends and become accepted anywhere. Also gives a profounds insight into the culture. Understanding another culture's humour is 70% of the culture per se already. Usually, humour is applied to the most important issues in a society.. Once you get that, you're in.\n\nII. Money.. Obviously. I don't think anyone can deny the fact that languages are "useless" in the INFORMATION AGE. \n\nIII. Respect -- to me personally, knowing a language (in any and all of its aspects) has become a source of healthy self-esteem and significant satisfaction in respect to my social status and interactions.\n\nIV. It's SEXY -- if you know how to use it, it can be the most potent aphrodisiac served on the most succulent plate of all: the tongue ;) I would advise every one to serve themselves in that sense.. ;)\n\nV. It's intelligent -- the philosophy that everyone "educated" already speaks English, so there's no point in learning other languages is the most self-destructive one that a culture can present to the world. It is a philosophy of arrogance and ignorance. The worst thing one can do is not learn. Learning, of whatever you want, is the definition of an intelligent being. The important thing is to avoid following boring, conventional methods when you study... Learning is all about innovation, about finding new things and information, about enriching your ways. So, there's no reason why you should go with the established system. You should experiment and try different little ways and find the one that is most pleasant to you :)\n\nOn this positive note, I bid you good night B-)\n\n\nVeronika

I am an English and Portuguese teacher in Argentina, and I really love it. Of course, it can be exhausting, especially dealing with people who don't care about what you have to teach them. But on the other hand, the feeling of helping people understand something new is very exciting.\n\nBesides, teaching a foreign language gives you the chance of seeing how other cultures live, and contrasting that with your own culture. I suppose teaching other subjects must have its own appeal, too.\n\nThe greatest disadvantage of being a teacher (that is, depending on where you are) is that you will not make much money. But if you're OK with that, go ahead. And something very good about it is you have to really do something very bad, to lose your job, if you're working for a state school.\n\nI have to warn you that I've been teaching for only six years, now. I don't know if when I'm older, I'll keep on thinking the same. But I have my parents to believe I will. My mum has just retired after being a teacher for decades, and she never wished she did something else. And my dad still works as a teacher, and he is happy about it, too. There must be something in the genes...\n\nBut I think the best reason for you to be a teacher is that you're wondering if you could be one. If that weren't a good career choice for you, you wouldn't even care to wonder (leave alone ask other people) if being a teacher is fun. So, go ahead, and don't be afraid.

EVERYONE says french my answer don't.\nIn reality Spanish& japanese are really very important even german is good. Listen i'm not inventing stuff but i've attended so many seminars about this & that is what their answer was.Besides that these languages are important when you want to find a really good job

Spanish has more speakers worldwide than German. If you want to study political science/international speaking more languages in general may be useful. If you are especially interested in south American politics there won't be a way around Spanish, if you are more interested in European politics German may be at least as useful. \n\nI'd say it depends how good your German is after 4 years. Do you think it really needs more work, or do you feel comfortable talking/reading it? If you feel pretty good about your German speaking abilities, learn an additional language, if you don't it may be better to learn German so that you are pretty good at it (after all you already invested 4 years into it) before you go on for spanish.

Depends upon what you think is beneficial to you or maybe your job. \n\nSpanish-It's different from country to country, but that is the language that we hear more often in the USA and it's good to know it.\n\nChinese-China will become the next world power. It's up there with India. If you want to get chosen from a lot of colleges, jobs, and know one of the most spoken languages in the world, go for it. Might be hard to get in a highschool. So if you want to learn it you would have to start in college, or go abroad for a year(which is amazing!) Also, knowing this language wows everybody\n\nFrench-Same as spanish. They speak in Africa, France(duh), it's a pretty funky french in Canada, and some islands have it.\n\nThen I would say Hindi, Arabic, German, American Sign, and Russian Languages, would all go to the next spot, because not only are they unique, but they also will get you a high spot in jobs someday. Problem. You are still in highschool. My school is fortunate enough to offer German, but some don't. \n\nIf your mom could teach you the philipine language while you are learning another language, that will better inhance a big plus sign with the colleges. As long as you're doing a good job with them. The more languages you know, the better the chances are that you will get more money. :-) hope this helped!!

I know English and I am learning French. I know a lot of Urdu and understand it, but I cannot speak it fluently. My first choice to learn another language would be French cause it is really beautiful, but i am already learning it. I would choose Greek because it is rich in history.

I did a postgrad course at INALCO in Paris. The standard was abysmal, free thought was frowned upon. A very good level of French is necessary just to sign up and go through all the bureaucracy before classes even start. Don't expect them to accept your foreign qualifications without a lot of messing around either.

Go with your interests.  Personally, I find them all equally hard/easy. (I am native american, started with German, added French and I can read and make myself understood at a survival level in Spanish and Italian.)\nHowever, if there are any instructors that are 'TPRS' teachers  (ask around) take WHATEVER that language is.  There are not very many at the college level.  Also talk to other students and find out which language has the most instructors with high student ratings.  The teacher and teacher's methods can make all the difference for a beginning student.  They can dazzle you with complex grammar and lots of work, or they can lead you gently to the same end.  \nEnjoy, though,  Languages are fun if you decide to do the work to learn them!

I would chose a combination - some stories in English and some in your mother tongue.  Children who grow up in a multilingual environment will have a great advantage when they're older - being able to speak at least two languages gives them a head start over others not only for education purposes but also when looking for a job.  Preschool age is a great age to start learning languages and you will be surprised how much your child will advance in the coming years if you carry on communicating in both languages.

I have no idea, but I admire you for wanting to. I've always wanted to know a second language, but never had the self discipline to learn.
