alterdesire SG Hi Guys, I am going on to 2nd year at Ngee Ann poly and as some of you might know you are actually allow to a take a foreign language as one of your IS Module in Year 2 and 3 Now the question is which language would be best to know when it comes to job opportunities and increased economic success? I tht Japanese but Japan being a small country and all, which only allows very low immigration into its country. It does not seem a wise choice? Anyone here has got any suggestions based on your working experience? Languages offered are Indonesian French German Japanese Spanish & Vietnamese
Kuali Baba SG Why look at the pragmatic gains? Go for the one which interests you most. All of them will serve you well, not just in your work but also in your daily interactions.
udontknowme SG in that list, french and spanish are the most widely used but for now, learn what you are interested in. the fact that you oledi know three languages will be an added advantage

aku1b0d0 SG French is really hard. Everything has its own gender. Desks are female, pencils are male, etc. There are imperfect tense, pluperfect tense, subjunctive, gerundive and many other tenses.
