Learning other languages is great because you can learn about different cultures and get in touch with people.

However, the most important thing related to learning other languages is the fact that you can make business with professionals from all over the world in an easier way.

There must be one or two languages that are more important for business purposes. According to your experience, which are the most commonly used business languages after English?

It all depends on what business you are talking about, where you are located, and what market you are after.

Examples:

Chinese: Manufacturing

Various Indian languages: Tech support, Chemicals

Spanish: Central & South American services, also largest & fastest growingnon-english segment in the US

Arabic: Petroleum

etc etc

Great question. I will love to see what others have to say. In my own opinion it depends on your product and business model. I will think is between the most spoken Chinese dialect or Spanish. Each for its own reason. But the question is fantastic.

It depends on the part of the world you'd like to specialize in. I'd suggest a look here 50 most widely spoken languages.

There are several bubbling hot spots for business development when you consider emerging markets. Consider India, South East Asia, China, and South America as potential super nodes for business.
