I have to add another language that is important in the global market alongside Chinese and Hindi, and that language is Portuguese. Portuguese is the sixth most spoken language in the world with over 200 million speakers. It is well ahead of German, French, and Italian, yet I hear very little about people learning to speak Portuguese.
As such, it seems a business found a very lucrative business to create a thrive on - teaching English speakers Portuguese. The business, Brazil Station, teaches individuals mostly from multi-national corporations Portuguese in order for those corporations to infiltrate the local markets better.
The best part of the company is that all of its faculty are native Portuguese speakers who are fully qualified as bilingual and quality instructors. They have a tried and true core program that they teach individuals, and have a variety of multi-media at their disposal to teach the language. In my mind, this is a very lucrative business by taking advantage of the not-so-popular language that has a high market potential for businesses.
