what is good language to learn besides english and spanish?

Question

what other language is good to learn in the united states.i already know english and spanish so thats not a problem for me.

Answer 1

Mandarin Chinese (one of the main languages spoken in China) is definitely a good language to start learning. China is becoming a very powerful country and in ten years, they will almost indefinitely be the most powerful country in the world. Language is a tool. If you have that tool, it opens you up to so many opportunities - by knowing Mandarin, those opportunites will be yours.

Answer 2

English is quite easy for people who pick it up as a second language. Everyone loves to think it is so hard because of little grammatical things that can be tough to master, but acheiving basic fluency in English is easier than pretty much any other European language. Do a little research and dispel this urban legend. Indonesian is apparantly quite easy though not sure how useful. Probably Portugese or Italian are the easiest, though similar to Spanish, French is harder. The Scandanavian languages are easier for English speakers than the other Germanic languages out there. English is seperate from it's relatives so there's no other language that is really a snap to learn. Maybe something close to Farsi would be easy for you though I don't know of any specific languages.

Answer 3

Try Esperanto for a simple, easily learnt language. The site below has a few different approaches to learning the language. Each one can be taken as time permits, and you'll be fluent inside of a month with maybe a few hours a week, considering the languages that you have to your credit so far. Only 16 grammatical rules with NO exceptions.

Contrary to popular opinion, it's very useful. Especially if you plan to do most of your communications via the Internet. And if you've the desire you can find other people to visit in any country you care to mention. Pasporta Servo is the best gateway to travelling with Esperanto. There is a solid presence in the United States, but it is more common in Brazil, Asia and Europe. At last reasonable count they figure there are 2 million plus speakers world wide. That's more than double the population of Nova Scotia and other places.

The orderly structure of the language is extremely helpful in understanding other languages. The site below gives a good understanding of how it helps.

Research and make your own conclusions.

Answer 4

English is esssentially a Germanic Language, and Spanish is classified as a Root Roman. If you know Spanish, you can pretty much work out a lot of the other romance languages. (Italian and French)
So I would suggest something entirely different, like Chinese or Japanese - both are crucial in the buisness world today, anyway, and would broaden your understanding of the world.

Answer 5

a great language is german. it is built like english and isnt as hard as it first looks. however if spanish was your 1st language, italian would be easier to learn.
Also, American Sign Language. It's a whole new world of communication and it also is not as hard as one might assume.

Answer 6

It'll be easy to learn Italian when you know Spanish. Except of that - French and German.

Answer 7

Try Italian or Portuguese, are similar to Spanish.

Answer 8

Try French. It's similar to English and Spanish so it won't be such a big jump.

Answer 9

if you want to learn fast, try portuguese. its very similar (especially in its written form) to spanish. if you want something more "useful" for your future go chinese.

Answer 10

You should learn Gaelic(Irish) or Norwegian.
