I am thinking about learning another language, Spanish specifically (I studied Spanish for 5 years, hence why the advantage. I probably forgot everything already though. HOLA! Guess I did not. Yay.)

Anyway, I limited my choice to the three in the poll because I believe in 25 years, countries who speak these language will have a huge impact on the world, and hence knowing one of these language will be even more important.

What do you guys think? And no, I'm not considering others. Other languages, except for Hindu are probably dieing, especially French. And I'm over the phase of wanting to learn Japanese simply to watch anime =)

[Nosferatu]

Spanish. Spanish is awesome. Having a spanish girlfriend I'd know.

[Golden Legacy]

Good for you Eugine.
As an Arabic speaker myself, I would be so inclined to choose that one. A non-Latin language would be immensely useful in the coming years, either that or Chinese.

[Gio]

If I had the time to learn a language I would probably learn Arabic, but since I am up into all hours of the night doing math work and writing essays I really don't have the time for it right now. Probably mostly because my time management sucks.

[Ironsight]

I'm eventually going to have to learn a language as a requirment. Planning on doing Spanish too. I'm planning on picking it over French so I know what everyone says to me when they tink they're being clever and start insulting me with it.

[Caael]

Arabic. Hard as ****, but it pays off massively.

Spanish is only useful in 2 countries and chinese is only useful in one

Arabic is the most useful.

[Blue]

Chinese! xD

I like Arabic, but it is probably my least favourite of the three languages. Arabs are rich though, so I should learn the language to get some money!

Spanish is spoken throughout Latin America, some Caribbean countries, most South America countries, few European countries, and will be the second most spoken language in USA because of the immigrants.

China will be the most influencial country, second to USA, so I assume Chinese will be the second most important language soon. Chinese are multiplying like hell, and moving all around the world!

[Ironsight]

Yeah, Chinese aren't really helping with the worlds overpopulation problem. Luckily the coal mines and shoe factories help thin some of them out.

[Toasty]

Oh snap.

Learn Japanese. It's obviously the most useful.


....for obviously obvious reasons.

[Drizzy Drake]

English is a foreign language to Japan, therefore, I know a foreign language. Oh, and french, but who cares abotu french?

[Toasty]

I know a little bit of french, spanish, japanese, and I know one or two words in czech.

I can only speak English fluently, though.

[Ironsight]

I know how to say Potato in German.

1 child laws.They're actually declining because boys are more desirable in births, as the women's families pay dowries to the man's family. If a couple know they have a girl conceived, they will try and abort it and try again so they can get a guy.Geography FAX RIGHT THERE.

[Eugine]

The 1 child law only applies in China.

[Toasty]

Each one being succesively more gay as the list goes on.

[Mallick]

Spanish is a sexy language, **** you all.

[Ironsight]

no u

[Someone Else]

I'd like to learn Spanish. I have lotsa Mexican friends (sorry conservatives) so it'd be funny.

I think Spanish would be most useful just 'cause. I don't think Chinese will be THAT useful so quickly, but what do I know?

Same.

I have quite a few Mexican friends at school. My mom's been good friends with a Mexican for a few years now, and even my other [white] friends who know her think that she's cool.

I hate people who don't pay taxes and are here illegally. It just so happens that most of the people who fall under that category are Mexican. Doesn't mean I'm racist.

[Someone Else]

It was a joke D= One of bad tastes, yes, but a joke. =P

[Toasty]

Alright, but for the record.....*quote's self*

[Ironsight]

Oh great, I've been quoted misspelling "here" as "hear" :\

Proving you're not racist/whatever by bringing up an example or two of people you know are that race makes you look more racist.

[Toasty]

That's what this one guy at school said too. D;

[I'm Always BROKE]

If I was you, I think I'd choose Spanish.

[Golden Legacy]

Well, I imagine it depends on the "market" you're applying for.
If you plan on working in North America, and especially in areas like medicine and social work, take Spanish.

If you plan on getting into any other region, or focusing on business or economics, Chinese and Arabic will be immensely useful.

[Kuchiyose]

Chinese, thats an awesome language to learn, i learned Chinese and Japanese language for a year, you'll learn Chinese really fast, reason been they don't have an alphabet, they use the 4 tones, also your kind vague on what Chinese language you want to learn, they actually have two Chinese languages, ones traditional, while other is simplified (mainly based on writing) but again it depends what you want to do with the languages.

[Eugine]

I guess Spanish it is.
Gracias todos! Adios!

[Saturos S.]

I would have gone with French. It sounds so... flimsy.

I know, it's not practical or anything. Just smexy.

[Gio]

I could learn it "the language of love" to try to impress my girlfriend. The only downside to it is that she already speaks really fluid french and I would end up making a fool of myself.

[Aquamarine]

French is disgusting, it makes me want to ****ing puke. I studied it for four years and now I detest it. However, after studying German for 4 years, I quite like German and wish I knew more of it.

When my academy starts I'll be learning Italian. Why can't I stick to one language...

[Saturos S.]

German is Dutch but then you yell it and sound angry.

French is snobbish, therefore fun to talk.

Italian is just waving with your arms and saying "babidoobie"

As for French and romance, just sing Je t'aime and if they answer in French just go for " Je ne piche qui d'alle" (sp?) At least it means that you don't understand **** what they're saying.
