English please.

IHT: The Workplace: With limits, the rule is English: "English is a job requirement whether you're a banker in Bavaria, a chef at a five-star Luxembourg hotel or a writer for America Online's French Web site in Paris. It's an Information Age standard that some linguists argue is fast becoming basic."

How very interesting. In many European nations, it is now a job requirement to speak english. Yet, in the U.S.A some jobs require people to speak Spanish or Vietnamese.
