Some believe it is important to learn as many foreign languages as possible. Others believe that speaking one or two languages fluently is enough. Which do you think is preferable and why?
Definitely, the more languages you speak fluently, the more better for you in the professional setting. There are many companies that have international partnerships and hire people who can speak fluently multiple languages. Nevertheless, if you speak one or two languages fluently it will help boost your career, it looks good on your CV and it improves your chances of getting the dream job you want.
