German is not only spoken in Germany, but in the finance centers of Switzerland, the auto plants of Northern Italy,Austria, Lichtenstein, Alsance-Lorain and border towns in France. Dutch and Flemish (Belgium) are very close, as are the Scandanavian languages. Of course German is spoken widely in South America too. As for learning Chinese, you may align with them if you wish. Which side are you on, anyway?

To me it would depend on your major --- German, Russian, Japanese, French would be good if you're studying science or math. If you major in Social Work, obviously Spanish should be your choice. Chinese, Japanese, or German or others for International trade. If you're into certain foreign literature --- then you'd pick the appropriate language.
