In the US, it might be reasonable to learn Spanish or Chinese. I know a lot of Russians in Russian far east speak Chinese and I've heard that Russian used to be the language taught in China. I would definitely choose Russian in case of an exam, so far it is better than my English <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I wonder if having a language elective would add value to the MFE program. Since many graduates work in companies doing business globally, a language elective might be a good thing to add. French 1001 and 1002 are offered in the summer, a nice thing to know for future.</blockquote>
