What the fuck is this bullshit? What use do I have for German. Academia is done exclusively in English. Fuck these xenophobic swiss cunts.

ETH Zurich is a meme school anyways. Fucking inflated ranking is what they are. It's a place where Oxbridge rejects tell others, "Einstein used to work here XD"

No... I don't think you do unfortunately.

Quants have nothing to do with traders.

>>75282734
A lot a scientific papers are only available in German. IIRC is the second most used language in the academia
Also maybe they want you to learn the most spoken language of the country? One wouldn't spend the entire course inside the university
>>
>>75284925
If the researcher wasn't smart enough to learn English it probably isn't worth reading

Oh poor you they demand that you should be able to communicate with the people who live there before letting you stay. Sad

The 5 strongest languages for science have always been English, Russian, German, Japanese, and Chinese. Although it's important to mention French.
>>
>>75285106
weak bait
>>
>>75285078
English is not as widespread as you Anglos think. Nevertheless no one is obligated to speak English if it's not the country's national tongue. That's also something you lot need to understand
You're going to someone else's country, you have to bound to their rules
>>
>>75285306
Yeah, but for most people with an endemic language, learning English is a way to get ahead

I was literally offered a 90k starting at ANZ mate. You clearly don't work in finance.
>>
>>75285381
Funnily enough, knowing English doesn't really give you a ticket ride to international success. As weird as it may sound is better for domestic use.
By knowing English, in Brazil, I'm seemed as a bilingual guy, it's good for the cv. If I'm abroad, I'm just another foreigner with a stupid accent
However, none of it was my initial point. I'm quite positive if anyone is studying in Australia they are required to know English. Not because English is the lingua franca, but for the fact that is the country's national language. No aussie is obligated to know whatever the fuck the foreigner is saying, in your country your language. It baffles me that the kiwi is expecting the Swiss to act differently.

If you're such a super high intellect wow doge boy, surely you can master one foreign language that is even related to English.
>>
>>75287094
Language learning has very little to do with intellect. If you have no experience in learning a second language from an early age, the part of your brain that allows you to learn languages literally stops working, making it very difficult to learn in later life. Doesn't matter if you are a burger flipper or a professor.
>>
>>75287130
>Language learning has very little to do with intellect
and /int/ is a proof of that
total retards speak decent english
>>
>>75287130
It doesn't stop working, it becomes less effective. Anyone is still very much capable of learning a language to fluency later in life
>>
>>75287094
Im fluent in Chinese, fuck learning a third language. Chinese was a bitch
