So, could anyone help me decide the best foreign language for physics major?

If you want to do HEP experiment, you’ll probably spend some time at CERN. Even though the language which people work in is English, to get by, you’re going to need to pick up some French. I’ve also realised that a lot of great physics institutes are located in German speaking countries, so I feel like I need to learn some German… and on top of that, China is an emerging research power, so it’d be useful to learn Chinese.
