Cool, thanks for the post. Now I know I want to learn Chinese and Arabic!

English is a world language. Spanish and Arabic are key languages. German is expanding in Asia. Chinese is important.

If I change a numer of mundane facts into the future tense (sic!) for the BBC, can I have a well-paid job too?
