dude,
i think that learning English as a foreign language will help u the most. if u r interested in doing a job in ,say germany, then learn german. there is no point in learning german if u want to stay in India or go else where. :wink:
if u r interested in learning a language just go ahead and learn, but donot learn it for the sake of MBA.
as u said these r the days of globalisation and hence to make a global community english is enough...
