What is the best language to learn if your undergraduate major is in Nuclear Engineering?

The three languages I would use are English, French, and Japanese.\n\nEnglish is the international language of choice right now (soon to be replaced by Chinese in the next several decades).\n\nThe French have a huge nuclear industry, and are looking to start exporting their nuclear fuel world wide.\n\nThe Japanese also have a huge nuclear industry.

the "lingua pura"... english!\n\nbecause it is the universal language for just about anything... communications, science, technology, mathematics, banking and finance among others...

It depends on your objectives.   If you want to showcase yourself as being proficient in a more "exotic" yet economically-in-demand language, where there are otherwise few qualified professionals available in the job market, then I would say go for Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, or Arabic.    On the other hand, if the idea were to be able to communicate with a greater number of people speaking an idiom, then I would definitely say Spanish or Chinese.    Finally, if you have a targeted geographical region in mind then obviously your choices are already more narrowly defined.    For instance, in Europe I would consider (in addition to English, of course) French and/or German.     … But if you really insist on a single answer, then I would say, considering everything (e.g. the number of people speaking the language, its overall economic and political viability, the lack of language-proficient individuals in the job market) “Chinese” is most likely the one true language opportunity of the future for an English-speaking person.

If the following is true, I'd say, "Sara is majoring in French and German." or "Sara is studying for a Bachelor of (Arts/Science - whichever) in French and German." Otherwise, I'd just say, "Sara is pursuing a degree, and studying French and German."

I would suggest majoring in one or two languages, and minoring in something like business or poli sci.  These are not topics that make me jump for joy either, but they help you keep your options open.  Foreign languages can be used in a variety of settings, so it's always good to be flexible…and, let's face it, a majority of the careers that you will find with a degree in foreign languages will be related to business, government, or education.  The reason I don't suggest a minor in education is that it wouldn't help you post-graduation; you'd have to major to get your teaching credentials.*\n\nIf you majored in Spanish and live in the US, you certainly could do some kind of work with community or non-profit organizations.  \n\nWith languages, diplomatic work also suggests itself as a possibility. \n\nAnother logical choice–not the best choice, necessarily, but something that logically flows from studying several languages–is a graduate degree in linguistics, comparative literature, or the literature of one particular language.  I've studied several Romance languages and Latin, and this is the career path I chose.  Unless you go into linguistics/language acquisition, jobs tend to be hard to come by.\n\nHope that helps.\n\n-Fuz\n\n*One more thing: if you know of some field that you are interested in besides languages, minor in that instead.       Say you like art; minor in art or art history.  That could open up careers in museum/gallery work, for example.

German is not a romance langauge. Most schools that have a romance studies major usually focuses on two of the langauges. I've seriously considered this major, and I, personally, would want to study Spanish and French (most widely spoken). One doesn't necessarily have to have a language major to study abroad, but having one gives you a bigger excuse to do so. :]\n\nLearning a lot of languages is useful in almost all fields. Multilinguists, especially those with knowledge of the "critical langauges" (Chinese, Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, and I think a few more), are extremely desired in the FBI. \n\nInterpretors are extremely well paid, but a constant cash flow is not garunteed, and in most cases, niether is health insurance. This many wind up teaching and interpret as a side job.

I would check with some resources in Peru, since Spanish and Japanese are the primary languages.

Everyone says English but it might depend on what your first language is. If you speak German as a first language for example, you might find English (a Germanic language) easier to pick up than if you spoke Japanese as a first language. Ultimately, no language is any more or less difficult to learn than any other. It depends entirely on the person learning it (their experience learning other languages, how they are taught, why they are learning, etc.).

Don't pick a minor yet.. just be thankful you know what you want to major in already! Many college students don't know that much when they first start. (I've changed mine twice and I;m a junior!) Just take basic freshman classes and English classes.. as you start taking basic classes like History, Psych, foreign language, etc, you will find what you like best.  I am a Spanish minor and I love it, by the way~! (just an idea;-)  well good luck!! have fun at college

it depends where you are going to work or study.\nfor example, there are very good engineering departments in Italy...there you could speak either English ( so no need for another language) or Italian...

your best bet is at a community college, but sometimes high schools also offer adult ed programs with foreign language.

There's no such language called 'Iranian.' The Iranians speak Farsi. I do not know which language you should pick. I think the code makers of old based a code on the Navaho language that could not be broken by the enemy, but I'm not sure. I think Math is something you will have to know something of too, to go into that field. Ask the Air Force people who work in this area what you should study.

Latin is great from an intellectual standpoint. But if you want to learn an alternative language for productivity and business purposes, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish are probably the best languages right now to learn and each has its own reasons. Spanish obviously for businesses based in the southern part of the US, Japanese for big and well established businesses, and Chinese because the economy over there is exponentially expanding and upstart businesses there will probably become fortune 500 within 2 years. Its a matter of opinion really.

You might start with a course in English grammar, spelling and punctuation.\n\nA BA program generally requires a two foreign language courses (6 credits) but gives you added flexibility regarding your areas of study. A BS program is more analytical and geared toward professional application.
