In my experience, Spanish is very useful in business and German not at all.  I even have several German clients (Deutsche Bank, Bayerische Hypo- und Veriensbank, Commerzbank, Dow Olefinverbund GmbH, and others, but (i) the people who work there disproportionately speak English and (ii) outside of Germany, Switzerland and Austria, virtually no one else does.  While I have no clients based in Spanish speaking countries, the number of business opportunities that arise in Latin America are quite substantial.  They have an abundance of natural resources and often need first-world help to exploit them.  I *wish* I spoke Spanish (or Portuguese, for Brazil alone).  --[[User:JesusSaves|JesusSaves]] 03:34, 09 April 2007 (EDT)
