Career Possibilities

French

200 million people in over 50 countries across 5 continents speak French. France is one of the world’s largest economies, and French-speaking European countries include Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco.

German

German is the most widely spoken language in the European Union. As a world leader in green technologies, Germany is a major contributor to research and development in many STEM fields: a significant reason why German is the second most commonly used scientific language worldwide.

Romance Languages

Speakers of more than one language often have linguistic, cognitive, and cultural advantages over monolingual speakers. Italy is one of the seven most industrialized countries, making knowledge of Italian language and culture advantageous in a broad range of careers, such as international business, journalism, politics and tourism.

Spanish

Spanish is the second language of the U.S., the second most-spoken language by native speakers in the world, and one of the five diplomatic languages of the United Nations. Spanish is also an official language of the European Union, and of the World Trade Organization. Four G20 countries are Spanish speaking.
