Which of these European languages would you be most interested in knowing? And why?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I'm working on Spanish and French now

I'd be interested in learning all the others except Russian really

Italian and Portugese would be easier to learn for me than German because they're very similar to Spanish and Spanish and French are both romance languages. English is my first language, so maybe German would be easier for me than for some, but it definitely seems more difficult than Portugese, Italian, Spanish, and maybe even French but not sure. These are all countries I've been to as well or would like to visit again/revisit. (Except Germany, haven't been there yet.)

Definitely Russian because, let's face it, together with Chinese, Russian is on the verge to become one of the dominating languages in the world and replacing English as main trading language in the future.

However, Spanish is a close 3rd because the language is spoken in such a variety of countries worldwide that it makes sense to know the rudiments of the language in order to be able to express yourself in a large part of the world.

Honestly none of those pique my interest. If I had to learn a language I would want to learn latin (as I tend to be interested in a lot of older works and most were written in latin plus since latin is the basis of a lot of langauges or influenced them it would be more then likely a good jumping off point to learn other languages like Italian, if that is what I wanted). Though if I had a gun to my head, I'd say Spanish (seems like I would get the most use out of it).

Russian would open more doors for me than the others, mainly because I either know enough of them to get by, or they're spoken in places where English is reasonably widely known.

Lots of places where Russian is the lingua franca, English doesn't get you very far, and I have felt I'd get more out of them, if I had some Russian.

Dihiya · Answer

I'd like to learn German (and Japanese) for academic reasons, I'm studying to become an industrial maintenance engineer since most industrials were I live import their production machines from Germany I need to be able to read their diagrams and plans to understand their operating system and function.
Yes they do come with an English documentation as well but if it's lost, it's impossible to work, you'll have to just rely on experience and if you don't have or the equipment is just too complex well you're done for.

WhistleForTheChoir · Answer

Spanish, because it's the most useful. Italian is only spoken in essentially three countries (well four with San Marino). All German people speak English with very few exceptions. Portuguese is only spoken in two countries. French is pretty widely used, but I already learned French when I was in Morocco and I just don't like it haha. Russian is also widely used, and that would be a cool language to learn, but I don't really want to go to many countries that speak Russian. Spanish is spoken in a lot of places, and I definitely want to go to some. I was already in Spain once.

kaylaS91 · Answer

I already know how to speak French though certainly wouldn't mind improving.
As for new languages, I'd be most interested in learning Russian. I'm already fluent in Polish and there's a lot of similarities between the two languages so I feel like I'd already have an upperhand if I chose that one. 🤓

Dargil · Answer

Spanish. Put with English and I can speak with more than half of all people in the world. Yeah I know. Mandarin and Cantonese. But China's arc as a shooting star is over because of the ChiCom's love of death...70 million in the 20th century, the One Child policy with its millions of abortions and Covid19. China will be irrelevant in 15 years leaving the USA and India as mutually respectful super powers. And the Indians are learning English.

N192K001 · Answer

Personally, I'd like to learn Russian (cool-sounding), Spanish (the language of the Philippine's founding documents, great literature, etc.), and/or U. K. English (which sounds so much better than many other Englishes).

Unit1 · Answer

I speak German.

It would be worthwhile learning Spanish eventually. Wanna do some business with some muchachos and comprar some YaYo and pay them with Monero 😍

And then having some recreación with a puta or two :D

-Asca- · Answer

Russian, cause it sounds like a really cool and interesting language. I don't like how Spanish and portuguese sound, I despise french because you can literally just guess how to pronounce words, and I know a little italian and it's not quite thaaat amazing.

ThisDudeHere · Answer

I think it worthwhile to learn French because I believe that they will yet again be the dominant power of Europe by the end of this century. Germany is heading towards the cliff-edge and Britain is a shadow of the shadow of it's former self.

AlienParasite · Answer

I'm, spaniard. So Spanish get discarded. German is interesting, however I voted French. There is a film school in Paris that I like. Would be nice to make a course there in the future.

French, with Spanish and Italian being tied for second place. I like how they sound. German or even Russian would be convenient for practical reasons.
