If i wanted to learn a good language which would you advise?

Question

I am going to have a long summer vacation and i wanted to learn a language before school starts, which language would be most suitable for a teenager

Answer 1

More usable in the U.S. would be Spanish.

Answer 2

If you live in the US i'd say that Spanish might be useful. If you want to learn a language that you can use to make money out of in the future (for example, as a translator) pick one that not a lot of people speak, like greek (greek and latin are the basis of all european languages, including english), or swedish--you'd get employed fast.
Asian languages are a lot easier than everyone thinks if you want to try those and my guess is that Chinese will be a widely spoken language in the near future. (more than a billion people already speak it). French is a great language--it's the 2nd official one of the EU, it's very interesting and you'll find many similarities between french and english.
good luck whatever you do.

Answer 3

I know it's considered "Dead", but Latin will give you a key to understanding all of the Romance languages; likewise, ancient Greek or Sanskrit, because these are all sister languages that form the background for most of the modern languages of today, with the exception of the Native American languages and Chinese. The option you might consider is Mandarin Chinese, because it is spoken by more people that any other language in the world besides English and French, and is the most difficult for an English speaker to learn.

Answer 4

Well, you could try German. If you're from US, that's the best combination. With that combination (the English and the German) you could easily inderstand almost the whole Europe! But Spanish would also be a good choice, and it's very easy to learn. Whatever language you take, you won't be wrong. Old people in my country say that you are as worth as many languages you speak.

Answer 5

Spanish

Answer 6

Latin is a good language to learn - it is where such languages as Spanish, French and Italian stemmed.

Although, if you're a teen, you'll probably want to learn either Spanish or French since many Spanish-speaking people live in the US, and many French-speaking people live in Canada. (Also, they are probably the ones taught in your school).

Answer 7

Russian is a fun language to learn, if you can handle strict grammar. And there's so much interresting history that goes along with it. Hebrew is another fascinating language to study. Its a language that has been totally resurrected from near extinction. That almost NEVER happens.

Answer 8

Spanish is probably the best, but Latin will give your some high powered knowledge. You can understand what scientific labels mean and the roots of English. Many of our words come from Latin.

Answer 9

Spanish and depending on some areas in which you live, I would recommend an Asian language.

Answer 10

spanish would be the most practical if you live in the western hemisphere,...chinese if you plan a business career...french is nice, but no real use outside of France or Quebec,..

Answer 11

France.it is a beautiful language
