When selecting an appropriate language for yourself to fulfill your language requirement, select one that you think "you" may become involved with in the future.
If anyone else has the same/related question, I can help. I talked to some college faculty members and an alumni on science policy, STEM, international science projects, etc, and found that "at least for the many decades to come", english will likely "remain" the unifying language among...

In other words,
What is best non-English language to learn for future scientist working in multinational projects? (Will second language even be useful?)
Wow, I hope this will be true. How did you conclude/predict this? If you looked at articles/statistics, then I might be able to find out if chinese is useful to learn to become a physicist working on future nuclear fusion projects. (I'm english-speaking.) Thanks.
I'm not questioning this part, but how exactly do you know there are many Chinese in physics? I wish to know so I can decide if it's worth learning Chinese with my physics major. Thanks.
I hope this is true for Chinese too, but don't China and Japan push their students to learn english? So there's no need to learn Chinese/Japanese . . ? I might be wrong, but were your colleagues physicist master/Phd? (I'm considering learning Chinese to work in multinational nuclear fusion...
Which foreign language will be most useful for a future physicist working in nuclear fusion multinational collaboration projects?
Or is english all he needs?
I aspire to work for the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project) in which EU, US, Japan, China, India, S...
