No, just plain good old personnal edification. Also, it might come very handy if my travel plans work out.
The english language is by far the most important. Whenever you have two diferent cultures, two diferent peoples with diferent native tongues, they resort to english to comunicate. Everywhere on the world, where ever you go, english language is the chosen form for people to understand each other.
Itīs not just a corporate and business thing. Itīs way bigger.
If we had a census world wide, i would bet the english language is the second language of choice for the majority. Just look at tthe chosen language on the net. Always in english.
Some countries make of learning the english language a top priority on school programs.
While mandarin, arabic or spanish are important only if you find yourself in a specific part of the world.
