• no way..

  English is standard .. it is suppoused that all the people in a midle and high level (university or master or doctor degree) speak english.. so i do not think it could be a help if you are not german.. Mandarin.. it is depending of your speciality here are many many Chinese students that speak english and german and they have a german title..

• hello again Eugene

  with German it would be easier !..
  
  i have to say that it is not to easy to learn german, at least to me ..(it took me aprox. 2 or 3 years to speak a good german), beside it i speak another 2 lenguages too, but it was not to easy to make the geman companies to believe in me .. i had to make some practices and finally i got a real job (after 5 years).
  
  i wish you "Viel Glück !!" !

• For Sue

  Sue, if you have been able to learn and speak a 'good german' in just 2 or 3 years, it means that german is very easy. I have had to study English for more than 8 years and it is impossible to speak absolutely perfect.
  I had heard that german was harder form far.

• .. hallo Anonymous..

  i just have to say that onece you had learned a second lenguage than a third will be easier.. because you had found your way to learn and to think in another lenguage ..
  German gramatic is not too easy as i though,..
  but not imposible..
  
  and Eugene.. yes of course: you can if you want to !!
