Answer 1

My stock answer to this question is that you should choose the language that you are most motivated to speak, in terms of enjoying the cultures where it is spoken. It is useless to try to learn a language if you are not interested in the people who speak it. However, here is my list as I see it:

1. French. It is easy to learn because so many of it's words have entered English that the vocabulary is very familiar. It is used as a second language in various countries around the world, and the knowledge of French will increase your knowledge about Western culture in general.

2. Spanish. By far the most useful language if you are traveling in the Americas, but of little use elsewhere. It is a beautiful language and easier to learn than most.

3. Italian. My personal favorite, because of the deep cultural significance, but of limited value. Only spoken in Italy and thereabouts. It is beautiful, it is the easiest language to learn, and as it is the closest to latin, it is the key language that will open up all the other latin languages for you, if you choose to learn another one in the future.

4. Portuguese. One of the largest languages in the world is often overlooked. It is spoken in many countries in Africa, and Brazil and elsewhere.

5. German. For it's cultural worth, and because it is often a second language in Eastern Europe.

6. Japanese. If you are interested in learning about Japan it is essential. It would also be good for employment opportunities.

7. Russian. A very interesting and significant language, but rather difficult to learn. It is important to learn if you are traveling in the former Soviet Union, but not widely used outside of there.

8. Korea. Well, something had to be last. I am not sure what use Korean would be outside of Korea. But at least the written characters should be a lot easier to learn that Chinese or Japanese.

Answer 2

Out of all those you listed, the best is, of course, Spanish- it's spoken in so many Latin American countries, as well as Spain and the U.S.. I'm taking Japanese and loving it right now, but that's just me.

Here's how I'd list them:

1) Spanish (most used around the world)
2) Japanese (still a viable market)
3) Korean (very big, seeing as how we'll probably be interacting with them, militarily, in the future)
4) French (also somewhat important; good because it's a romance language and similar to many)
5) German (same as French, but less so because it's Germanic)
6) Italian (not very useful, but nice to know and very pretty)
7) Russian (seems like a place we always ignore)
8) Portugese (the least useful, and rarely spoken except there)

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

It all depends where you are and what you intend to do later.
- Spanish if you are in the States because a lot of hispanic are there and you are close to South America and French if you are close do Canada.
- Mandarin ( Chinese ) would be a good choice for the future in trade
- if you are in Europe then French/Spanish are the best I would say as a lot of people speaks these language. Frenc hspecialy if you are interested in going to Africa.
- After German is good if you leave in a country which has a border with Germany.
- Japanese is interesting if like me you like anime/ manga.
- Portugal is good for Brasil
- Russian for the formal colonies
- Arab if you want to go the Middle East
- Italian and Korea are quite limited in term of range and use.

So it is up to you to make your choice.

Answer 4

Russia has a lot of potential in the future. Its a mess now but I'm sure it will sort itself out.

2. korea 3 spanish 4 portuguese (brazil!) 5 italy 6 french 7 german 8 jap

Answer 5

i personally find german easy to learn, english is a germanic language afterall. but i took french, spanish and russian, and never really could learn much.

out of those languages
id say either japanese or korean would be the best to know in the US atleast.

though if you need to learn a language for business, german/asian language
germany is the business leader of europe (more of europes business men speak german)

and asia.. another big market, but id say chinese would be the best, then japanese or korean

Answer 6

Spanish is also close to English and it's one of the most spoken in the world. Also after that you can easily learn Portuguese or Italian, even French

Answer 7

German is the most spoken language in Europe. The japanese are pretty racist and annoying so most aren't much fun to talk to and I don't know about the others.

Answer 8

Number of people worldwide: Mandarin.

Number of businesses opening: Hindi

Best to get hired by USA intelligence agencies: Arabic

Most spoken by people in the USA who don't speak good English: Spanish

Best if you're into literature: French

Best if you're into Science (Organic Chemistry, Physics, etc.): German

Best if you're into Math or chess: Russian

Best if you're into classical music: Italian

Best if you want to teach English: Japanese.

Answer 9

Personally, I like Korean. The Korean alphabet is so easy to learn. Granted, learning the honorifics is difficult, but becoming literate quickly is nice.

Answer 10

german is the best one to learn and the most fun
