The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have additional skills to benefit their company if hired. Merck has many customers and clients who speak foreign languages, and they want to see if you speak any fluently to serve their customers better. While speaking a foreign language is not a requirement to work for Merck, you bring added value if you speak a foreign language fluently.

Focus on describing any foreign languages you speak fluently. If you are not fluent in any other language, tell the interviewer of any classes you have taken and how you would rate your skills. For example, if you had two years of Spanish in high school and can speak a little conversational Spanish, explain that in your response.

"I am fluent in American Sign Language as my mother is deaf. I also speak conversational Spanish, but I would not consider myself fluent. I took two years of Spanish in high school and have traveled extensively to Latin countries. I have always been able to understand the language and make myself understood, but I am interested in improving my skills."
