Apparently, no aspiring PhD in the field of Classics need apply without planning to learn at least German and French. I recently skimmed through this year's edition of L'Annee Philologique, a bibliography of articles and books in the field of Classics published annually, and saw the reason why.

So, you who have sought for academia's highest honor, how did you go about learning whatever language that was necessary?
