I am a recent graduate of Iowa State University with a Bachelor's of Architecture. I have spent the last 2.5 years of school studying several languages because I do not know where I will end up finding a job, but I wanted to have a background in enough different languages so I will be able to transition easily into any setting. Those languages include German, Italian, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I believe that an understanding of the culture for which you are designing is of the utmost importance. If you wish to learn more, call me in for an interview!
