What language would you learn if you had to learn one?

Question

and why...

Answer 1

FRENCH

French (français) is the third-largest of the Romance languages in terms of number of native speakers, after Spanish and Portuguese, being spoken by about 120 million people as a mother tongue or fluently. As a Romance language, it is a daughter language of Latin, although there has been significant borrowing from Ancient Greek.

It is an official language in 30 countries.

French is also an official or administrative language in several communities and international organisations (such as the European Union, International Olympic Committee, World Trade Organization, NATO, FINA, FIA, UCI, FIFA, World Anti-Doping Agency, United Nations, African Union, International Court of Justice, IHO, International Secretariat for Water, International Political Science Association, International Bureau of Weights and Measures, European Broadcasting Union, ESA, Universal Postal Union, Interpol and so on) and is among the six official languages of the United Nations and of all its agencies. While the status of French as the leading language for international communication has declined since its peak in the 18th and 19th centuries due to the rise of English, it maintains a prominent position.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Spanish because I often get mistaken for someone of Spanish descent... Not that it's bad but whenever I take the family to our fave Mexican restaurant, the waiters usually will say something in Spanish then I apologize and say I don't speak their language... That's when I get "The Look" almost as if to say... You think that you're too good to speak your own language? That's usually when I'll speak to my kids in my native tongue, just loud enough for them to hear... just in case... don't want no extra sauce on my burrito if you catch my drift..
