Another vote for Spanish. In 1961 when I had to select which foreign language I would study in high school my Father told me to take Spanish because it would be the most important language in the future of govt and business. How did he know what would be happening to this country in this day and age? I venture to guess that you can do more eavesdropping with Spanish - it spooked some workers at my house when I interrupted their lunch to offer cold water and fresh fruit - in their native tongue! They then knew that I knew if/when they were speaking about hubs and me!
