I perfer to Germany, Germany is one of the world's leading language, and chinese companies have sizable investments and offices in Germany,if you want to get a career there, or study,travel,a foundation in the Germany language will help you get your want.

I think as long as you have the heart of enterprising,both is very useful for you, and your written and oral English is very good, In my impression,The British and the Germans can use English to communication.

It depends where you're at. If you're not in China, I'd really go for Chinese these days. If you're only limited to those two options, I think I'd rather go with Germany. French may sound nice but German you can really use. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

German is a traditionally important language for science so if you expect to go in that direction you should consider German. Also, it might depend on whether there are more French or German companies doing business in your country. By know the language of foreign companies it could make it easier to get a job with one.

Well I think you will need to do some research with this one given the field you're going into but I would personally choose German

The accepted standard international business languages are English and French, so I'd definitely go with that. It's certainly a more pleasant-sounding option, too: German has a tendency to sound harsh, whereas French has that melodic appeal (though not as much as Welsh or Italian). But then I'm biased: my partner's French.

Welcome to MyLot. You will need to network within your industry to try to find which language the people there are most in need of on an ongoing, long-term basis. Wouldn't English be the more preferred or is that one already assumed? I would have thought German would be best on the industrial side of things, as I've noticed that many of China's products are designed in Germany. All The Best.

French.German is less useful unless you intend on living in Germany.

french is more widely spoken than german. this is one the the United Nations' official languages. if you have future plans of working abroad, french would be an asset. however, if you plan to migrate to german speaking countries, then take german.
