Languages at Work

I just decided to count how many languages we have here at work. No, not computer languages but spoken languages that people here can speak besides english. So far there are at least one person who speaks fluently the following languages:

  • Chinese
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Indonesian
  • German
  • Romanian (not 100% sure on this one at the moment)

And we have some limited competence in the following two:

  • Spanish
  • French

I was pretty impressed! This is just in my group at work which probably consists of 40-50 people. I’m just one of the ones who can speak a little Spanish. If we ever do any international shows I think we might have a good chance of having one person that can get around. :)
