No, I do not mean computer languages like C, Visual Basic or Java, which of course can be easily learned with the hundreds of thousands of programs available on the internet. I am talking about learning a real language, a spoken language like French, Spanish of Chinese.
I used to work for a Japanese outsourcing company as a software developer. Being a non-Japanese, my Japanese colleagues were some of the nicest people I have ever met. They were always very polite and gentle. But the problem with that company was that the owner was a traditional Japanese – does not speak English and pressured (although not required) the staff to learn Japanese (we also learned that he goes to an exclusive and very expensive bar in Japan that still has geishas).
