2. i think the most useful language in the international business is english..
3. English will be the first choice. But given that you are fluent in it, next best choices would be Spanish, Japanese, French or German. Spanish, if you are doing agri-business or doing business with Americas, Spain, some parts of Africa. Japanese is good if you are looking east - Banking, Technology, Investing. French and German if you think you are going to be in the manufaturing sector. These days with China emerging as an economic power, lot of business is being done there. Chinese too would be a choice. But largely the above said languages are the best to learn and choosing one depens on what kind of business you are doing.
4. Swahilli is the #1 language I think last time I checked? I could be wrong
5. English with enough blend of managerial jargon . The word which is used the most should be money
6. Chinese!
