I used to do that route every weekend and the F/O made an effort to tell the PAX hight/temp/speed etc in German, quite good I thought.
I've also heard that a second language is a plus and will be a plus point in your CV. With the UK moving towards Europe any language is going to be a plus over someone who's got none.
Another language must be a plus in you're CV.
Good luck
