Foreign Languages- which would you learn?

I would learn Mandarin Chinese because it would be useful for me. I live in a place where we have a dining room that serves lunch each weekday. Almost half of the people who eat there are native Chinese. Many don't speak any English so I would love to be able to carry on a conversation with them. I have learned a few words so I could be friendly. I see that it would take a lot of study to learn Chinese and would be more difficult than the two other languages I have studied in the past--Spanish and French. I'm originally from Texas so I wanted to learn Spanish. I had a hard time getting into the Spanish classes at the University of Texas because it was such a popular language to learn. However, I managed to get in and was glad I had the opportunity to learn as it has come in handy when I have traveled to Mexico and central America.

I am currently working for a Korean company, so I thought learning Korean language will be useful for me. Limited time keeps me from doing it though.

There are thousands of various languages in the world. If we have unlimited time, we'd better learn all of them. But it's obviously not the fact at all. So we should consider this issue carefully before we make the decision. In my view, people usually learn foreign languages for two main reasons. One is that they are interested in the culture of this country. The other is that they could benefit from mastering a foreign language. If you lack strong motives, you may be unable to insist on learning a foreign language.

..Hi amybrezik, I think it definitely adds lot to a person when they are fluent in more than one language. If I were to get ambitious and learn another language, it would more than likely be French. French sounds very romantic, and is spoken by many people, I believe. As well l would love to go to Paris and live for a few years. Russian sounds kind of hard to learn. Take care and good luck with your plans.

I like to learn Korean and Japanese. Not to mention German and Russian, they are very interesting languages!

Well since i already capable of speaking english i think i'm going to learn a different foreign language as currently i'm learning japanese, rusian, arabic and aramaic, i collect a lot of literature about these languages and i intend to learn them because it makes me feel sublime to be able to speak in different tongues.

If would learn another language beside my language which is Tagalog and another language which is English, I would want to learn French and Japanese language. French because I believe it was the most romantic language I've known so far (for me) And japanese because I want to understand what my favorite anime movies what they are saying when I watch them.

I can speak Croatian, Czech, English and I'm learning German. I'd like to learn Japanese and French too

I would love to learn Chinese Language. It would be wonderful to comunicate with the asian comunity. They have a beautiful culture. Their painting and artifacts are amazing. Not to mention their exotic and scrumptious food.

Hi amy, well i have wanted to learn several languages. French, italian, latin, and japanese are the languages i have wanted to learn. There is no particular reason why i want to, but i just enjoy learning other languages. I havent began learning any, but when i have time i surely gonna start(im not sure which one would i do first but my guees is french).

i would like tolearn english.recause i am a university student,so english is my test subject.but i think my hearing is really the biggest obstacle to learn english,and there is no language environments.usually have little opportunity to speak english.

I hope to learn Latin.So strange.My major is history so I hope to understand the profile of Rome or something.I am thinking about being a chinese teacher after I read your answers.

i will suggests u to learn german language it benefits you

I am currently learning Chinese (Mandarin) and Japanese, since I come from an asian background and my parents say that it would be economically beneficial if I could be fluent in Chinese and Japanese and work there.

It would be great to learn different languages. They certainly help and of course they can also give you opportunities for work. In my case, I would love to learn how to speak Chinese and French.

I think I would take Chinese. I'm not really sure which dialect, but at my work, we have a huge chinese clientelle. It would be so helpful if I spoke even a little of the language. Russian is fairly popular here to, as is Spanish. I know Spanish already, so Chinese it would be!

I've always wanted to learn Spanish. Back then, they had Spanish classes here in the Philippines, but now, it's not required anymore. My sister says it's really helpful as many of her patients speak Spanish only (she's a nurse, and I am, too), and learning the language helps to let her and her patients understand each other. I would also like to study French, but I think I wouldn't be able to use it that much! I used to go on vacation in Saudi, and I only managed to learn a few words in Arabic, just the basic ones. As for wanting to speak in Korean, it has perks working in an English Learning Center. I get free Korean lessons from my students from time to time.

English is not my native language and is the most popular language in the world.So I first choose to learn English.I have spent most of my time to learn it.But till now I have not acquired English well.I also want to learn another two languages French and Spanish.I can't learn them for the next few years because I have not enough time.

Wow this is interesting. For me I would like to choose learning my nearby countries languages. That would be either Korean, Japanese or Chinese. I always had been fascinated by these languages and I think that it's good to learn them. Aside from those I would also like to learn German and Russian. I like German because they have new letters like this one-- Ü and I think it's interesting to write and learn their language. Russian, I also want to learn their language and writing because unlike English where you write in letters, they write in 'symbols' which is pretty interesting

I'm learning Japanese now.Because many video games are originally in Japanese,and I want to understand the stories,the talkings,so I can more enjoy the games. Well, I still can't fully understand them now, but I'll keep learning. I think the most important thing about learning a foreign language is interest.you'v got it,so you can make it.
