I am already taking French and Spanish, and I am about to start a course in Arabic. I have the oppurtunity to take Chinese instead of Spanish next year, but I don't know which one would be more useful. (I live in arizona, so the only one I actually get to use is spanish, but I plan on entering into Journalism, and I'm only in HIgh school)
What languages would you recommend?

Also, in taking arabic, do you have any tips on where I can actually use it? I know it is hard to become fluent in a language when you never speak it(ie french), so any ideas?

Well, if you plan on having your journalism career here in the states then I would take that extra year of Spanish. I would also recommend taking any language that you would be able to use on somewhat of a regular basis. (using the language regularly is the only way to remember it) Looking at our demographics in America it definetly would not hurt to take a little Hindu as well.
For journalism I would also recommend more in depth study of the hardest language in the world to learn... English. I would also incorporate some Latin in there as well since it is where most words in many languages are derived from. Good luck!

I recommend the language that suits you.
However, not Chinese but Korean.
1.A war is about to spark with Iran.
You claim your into journalism well, learn Iranian.
I guesses its called Farsi.
The language you should speak is Farsi and Spanish only.
Not chinese bc, there's Korean.
Spanish has over 800 million speakers and counting.
Farsi is a language if, you want to do journalism due to future war coming up.

Well!!! A classical language, is a language with a literature that's classical— i.e., it must be historical, it must be an unbiased culture that arose frequently on its possess, no longer as an offshoot of a further culture, and it need to have a giant and incredibly wealthy frame of historical literature.

After at least one year (I assume!) of studying Spanish, I suppose you've gotten the rules of grammar and all that is remaining is for you to increase your vocabulary by reading Spanish books or watching/ listening to programmes or associating with native speakers. If I were you I'd take Chinese. That way you'll have some knowledge of more languages. They say the more you learn, the easier it gets. Plus, you're still young!

Out of Spanish and Chinese, I would definitely recommend Spanish because it is used more frequently than Chinese. i think that's about it, you got a lot of language down pact.

well, spanish does seem to more useful, but chinese (mandarin) is the #1 language in the world. my mom made me go to chinese school when i was younger for about 7 years, and i'm grateful, because it's harder to learn and get the pronunciation right if you learn it as an adult.

Japanese is fast growing and many corporations look for Japanese speaking employee.
