<p>Anyone? </p>
<p>I'm not but I just want to know.</p>
<p>I wish. French is like the coolest language ever. Besides maybe Russian.</p>
<p>Muah!</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>I'm not a native speaker, but I've spoken it for all of my life, and I'm perfectly fluent.</p>
<p>aucuns autres?</p>
<p>^grammar? lol</p>
<p>Je parle un peu le fran</p>
<p>French sounds so much more elegant than spanish, I should've took french</p>
<p>Oui. My mom tried to teach me french as a kid, so i would be bilingual. then it screwed up my english so she stopped.</p>
<p>i took spanish (who knows why...) it's so unappealing to me now.</p>

<p>haha, me too. i want to take either french or german in college.</p>
<p>I am a native French speaker, although I am originally Lebanese.</p>
<p>Latin. Latin.</p>
<p>Yes, because it's good to waste your time with a dead language.</p>
<p>i take german right now in college. and i am planning on taking danish next year so i can go to denmark. (why danish? i am danish, just if you were wondering.)</p>
<p><ignorant american="" speaking,="" haha=""> </ignorant></p>
<p>do a lot of people in europe speak english? i think i have heard that european people learn to speak both english and french in school. is that right?</p>
<p>i know in germany they do. i have a german friend who learned french and english for like 6 years of school depending on the track they are in. but by no means is his english exceptional!</p>
<p>and in the netherlands and in denmark children learn english at a very young age (i have dutch and danish relatives).</p>
<p>OUi OUi Je parle francais , pourquoi cette question?</p>
<p>French may sound elegant. I've also been learning French for the past five years.</p>
<p>However, when I was attending this economics seminar 2 weeks ago, I personally asked renowned Nobel prize winning economist and chief economist of the World Bank Joseph Stiglitz what the three most useful languages are in today's world, in order to gear up for our 21st century globalization. He thought about it, and said: For sure, Chinese, as one can't do business without them; secondly, English, since it is naturally the universally used one; thirdly, Spanish.</p>
<p>I'd love to continue my French education, but I also want to start learning a bit of spanish.</p>
<p>I live in California where almost 50% of the population is Hispanic, or of Hispanic origin/ethnicity.</p>
<p>I have used Spanish only while vacationing in Mexico. Seems like a myth to me.</p>
<p>Jimmy, there aren't going to be just three major languages. However, for people entering the work force in the next decade, the three primary languages, other than English, are French, German and Japanese. That's where the money is. Manadarin is also making strides.</p>
<p>In the distant future, in like 30 or 40 years, I agree that languages like Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish will join the three languages I mentioned above, but it won't happen anytime soon.</p>
<p>Yeah, Germany and Japan have top world economies.</p>
<p>Germany pretty much controls the European Union. Our dollar is falling to them. Thus the reason why I could sell a kidney for a tank of gas.</p>
