What did we tell you? We weren’t lying.

GREEK

World GDP – less than 1%

Although its economy isn’t doing too great right now, compared

to the languages and countries that didn’t make this list,

it’s definitely worth learning.

HEBREW

World GDP – less than 1%

For a country as small as Israel, its economy and society are

remarkably efficient and high performing. Furthermore, plenty of large,

international companies have set up shop in Tel-Aviv.

World GDP – less than 1%

Although it’s only spoken by 6 million people, Denmark has a

powerhouse economy that provides plenty of business opportunities.

PERSIAN

World GDP – less than 1%

Spoken mostly in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, Persian has

over 100 million speakers worldwide. Although the combined GDP of

these 100 million people is less than the 4 million people of Norway,

there are still reasons to learn Persian/Farsi. Just ask the CIA.

NORWEGIAN

With only about 4 million people, Norway has one of the world’s

highest per capita GDPs. It’s a very wealthy country.

POLISH

The 6th largest economy in the EU, Poland was the only member

state to not have a decline in its GDP in recent years. In fact, its

economy has been expanding rapidly ever since gaining its

independence in the 90’s.

THAI

World GDP ~ .9%

Spoken in Thailand, there are definitely business opportunities

in the region considering its large tourist industry.
