French & German
You can gain a whole lot more enjoyment, and a whole lot more business, if you can engage with people in their own language, even if only on a basic or intermediate level.
Most people will appreciate your efforts and will generally be more helpful and polite.
You are less likely to be "ripped off" if you know your numbers!
It's amazing how much enjoyable conversation can be had if both parties have a try in each other's language.
It is estimated that one in five UK firms (21%) were concerned that weaknesses in foreign language proficiency was losing them business and half (52%) of those were looking to recruit staff with appropriate skills. (CBI/Pearson Survey 2012)
