I'm taking Spanish right now. I really love it. I can understand romance languages pretty well because I took six years of Latin (the joy). I think its quite useful because the Hispanic population in America is only going to grow and we may become a dual language society (I really don't think we will). Communication is an important part of business. My theory is that by speaking the language and knowing the culture, one can show that they can relate to people and make deal more easily. I am dying to take Hindi...I already speak another, less spoken Indian language in addition to English. I'd like to learn Portuguese too, but for selfish reasons ;-)
