Which is older,the Arabic language or the Hebrew language?

Which language would be more useful for the FBI: German or Hebrew? ?

• Going into the FBI with a major in Anthropology is like a back up plan for me. I intend to become fluent in one language while I am in college. Should I go with German or Hebrew? I've studied both at the 101 level. It should seem cut and dry, because Hebrew is in the middle east, but it isn't because everyone that speaks Hebrew also speaks English. Hebrew is also only spoken in Israel, and English is mandatory in schools, so you really have little need for a translator (it is not a perk to know that language). German I *think* might be the same way, or close to it. (Most Germans speak English) and there is a factor of many people already speak German. Well, which one would be more useful? I know they are not the BEST languages. It needs to be one of those, that or French. I'm not going to start a new language at the 101 level.

• Answer:

  WIth the close ties the United States has with Israel, I'd have to say Hebrew...
