"My firm offers beginners classes in French, Spanish and Mandarin. Putting aside the cultural worth - from a career perspective, is it worth learning one of these new languages? My worry is that three hours a week of tuition isn't going to make me capable of conducting business in that language, so will it benefit my career in any way? I'm an NQ and have done an MA, Phd, GDL and LPC, so I feel like I've been studying my whole life. Will this improve my CV or will it simply help me with ordering in restaurants when on holiday?"
