Which languages have high demand and low supply? I think it is an important factor to choose a language.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Supply & Demand
Well, it is a report about that in a webpage.
John F. Copper explain the top ten languages to study according to the supply-demand ratio:
1. Chinese
2. Japanese
3. Arabic
4. Indonesian
5. Russian
6. Spanish
7. Korean
8. Portuguese
9. Hindi
10. Bengali
PD. John F. Copper is a professor of international studies at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn.
German and French don’t place in the top 10 because both countries have small or declining populations. Neither country is growing very fast economically, either. And many people there also speak English. Lastly, there are too many American students studying these languages already, so the supply is much bigger than the demand.

Wow! Chinese, Arabic, Japanese and Indonesian are the most interesting languages.
Are you agree?
Are you agree?
The list may be nearly correct - just shift all of the languages down and put English in the top.

Considering this document is hosted on the 'Chinese Languages Teachers Association', I wonder how unbiased it is. I couldn't find the article anywhere else on the web...
