I'm in 11th standard and can speak English fluently. What do foreign languages do you recommend I learn in ?

"Considerably" may be a little of exaggeration for today's community of physicists. I suggested German because it is spoken by three countries: German, Austria, and Switzerland, if you want to go to Europe, German and Switzerland may be among those with bigger chance you are going to visit since they are among the leading countries in science and technology in Europe.TheQuantumBoy said:So I take it German is a considerably important
You will be really urged to learn Japanese when you have to reside there for a prolonged time, the reason being there are too scarce number of Japanese who can speak fluent conversational English, even in Tokyo. The only places you will feel comfortable with only English at hand are universities and research institutes.TheQuantumBoy said:How about Japanese ? Or is it only relatively important in the IT or Computer Technology field ?
That's what you took away from what I said? Generally, as long as you know English and the language spoken in your home country, you ought to be fine. That goes for most scientific fields. Knowing German will have little if any impact on your career. For example, I had a number of German colleagues that worked in my field during graduate school and we always communicated in English. I also never had any problem finding an older German paper that I wanted to read translated somewhere (e.g. Prandtl's original paper hypothesizing the boundary layer).TheQuantumBoy said:Thanks for you're advice everyone that has replied. So I take it German is a considerably important and preferrable language to be learned ..

The most important languages to learn for Aerospace Engineering are C++, Java, and Python. These languages are widely used in the aerospace industry for tasks such as software development, data analysis, and simulation.
While it is not mandatory to have knowledge of a specific programming language, having a strong foundation in at least one of the commonly used languages in the industry will be beneficial for your career in Aerospace Engineering.
Yes, there are some languages that are specific to the Aerospace industry such as FORTRAN and MATLAB. These languages are used for tasks such as numerical analysis and simulations.
You can learn these languages on your own through online resources, books, and tutorials. However, taking a course or attending workshops can provide a more structured and guided learning experience.
Apart from the commonly used languages, it is also beneficial to have knowledge of other languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for web development, and MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulation in the aerospace industry.
