Bahasa asing yang sebaiknya kita pelajari, menurut order of importance, versi saya adalah:
1. Bahasa barat, SATU SAJA yaitu bahasa Inggris. Alasan: tanpa bahasa Inggris kita akan lumpuh. 2. Bahasa Mandarin. Alasan: penting untuk interaksi personal dan bisnis. Sekalipun tidak diumumkan, perusahaan asing yang banyak berhubungan dengan bisnis, mis. Citibank, lebih mengutamakan pencari kerja yang berbahasa Mandarin. 3. Bahasa Jepang. Alasan: untuk interaksi personal dan bisnis dikawasan kita. Tapi awas, bahasa ini amat social-strata-conscious; kita harus tahu kedudukan lawan bicara, yang menentukan susunan dan pilihan kata serta stress dan irama lagu kalimat. Juga awas, ini bahasa yang secara gender tidak adil, jadi kalau Anda pria jangan pilih guru wanita, takutnya nanti anda bicara yang lagunya seperti cewek bisa berabe. Apa betul, mBah?

"Services sector in EU gives us an added advantage, but it is not being fully exploited due to the language barrier as there are 25 different languages in the expanded Europe, with UK being an exception," commerce secretary SN Menon said at a CII organised meeting in New Delhi. He said as a first step to remove the problem, the government had initiated a language course for the entrepreneurs starting with German. Besides, Chinese and Japanese have also been taken up, he said, adding the young enterpreneurs should increasingly make use of the expanded EU. Menon said business process outsourcing from the European countries could be fully tapped only by learning their languages. India can target potential areas for business like pharma, biotechnology, nanotechnology and auto components, he added. Emphasising on quality, he said India could compete with others only if we have products of international standards. He said the government was playing its part to help the industry for standardistaion with testing, inspection and certification of products. Instead of just concentrating on the traditional items of exports, Menon said at the CII-organised 'Doing Business with the EU' seminar that industry should look at more diversified products and services. ------------------------ Yahoo!
