<p>I've been tossing around different ideas of a language to learn in college, and my results are inconclusive.</p>
<p>So which language(s) do you most want to learn?</p>
<p>I think I want to learn French, Russian, and Chinese. It will take me months to decide.</p>
<p>Hmm…I guess I’ll continue learning French cause my French is so-so at the moment. And probably some eastern language (possibly Chinese or Hindi). I’ve always wanted to learan Irish (which is totally impractical, I know), but I never will cause none of the colleges I applied to has the program.</p>
<p>I’m a 4th-year Spanish student and I want to continue it and become fluent. I also want to be fluent in French, and probably Arabic or Mandarin. I love languages a lot.</p>
<p>I love languages. I want to continue Japanese. I’m in level III at the HS level. I might continue mandarin in college too. I’ll graduate after level III of that too. </p>
<p>I’d love to fit a European language in there though. Maybe German or French.</p>
<p>I’m taking AP French right now, and would love to start Arabic or Mandarin in college next year. They’re just so useful nowadays. If I put “speaks mandarin/arabic” on my resume, employers might just fight each other for my mad globalization skills, which would be good. Iuileb, my secret love for a few years was Welsh. Talk about impractical! But it sounds so cool, and I had just read the “That Dark is Rising” books… And I also know some Sindarin, from Lord of the Rings… :)</p>
<p>I like Chinese (somewhat), but I should’ve taken Japanese or something. No tones, so I would’ve picke it up much faster. Or I should’ve stuck with French.</p>
<p>To those of you who have learned Chinese as a second language, do you find it next to impossible? That’s my worry with both Arabic and Chinese.</p>
<p>Impossible? No. Difficult? Yes. LOTS of character memorization, and certain tones combos can be really tricky. </p>
<p>But hey, it’s worth the learning experience if anything else. Makes you feel good once you get a grasp of it for the fact that it is so difficult. =)</p>
<p>Exactly. I agree with LKei. Besides, Mandarin is one of the most relevant languages to learn. It would open a lot more career options in today’s market than say…Italian, or German.</p>

German (third most)
Japanese (sixth most)
Korean (fifth most)
Esperanto (third least)
Tagalog (second least)
Hindi (least)</p>
<p>but, i don’t have time to continue studying them…
should take time of to do so…</p>
<p>Russian and Icelandic. French would be cool too.</p>
<p>Hmm. So many choices. Now I really can’t decide…</p>
<p>Esperanto is a bit appealing. I’ve dabbled in it before. If I were to learn it, I would have to make sure I stuck with it for a solid three months. I have a bad habit of starting languages and never getting past the introductory stages.</p>
<p>I speak Arabic and Mandarin fluently, I know a little Russian and Portuguese. I’d really like to learn some way-out there language, like Swahili.</p>
<p>I’ve been taking French since 6th grade. I’m a senior in HS now, and I’m taking AP French Language. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that despite having taken French for 7 years, I’m really not that good at it. So it would be kinda cool to, you know, actually learn to speak French well. I’d also like to learn Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Hebrew (I’m Jewish, and I can sorta read it, but I don’t really know what any of it means).</p>
<p>If you’ve studied that much French, a few months in a French-speaking environment would make you good at it.</p>
<p>Plattsburgh, how did you manage that? Did it take a lot of time and effort to learn those two languages to a level of fluency? I imagine it did, but is it an attainable goal for most people?</p>
<p>I want to learn Mandarin and Arabic myself</p>
<p>that’s gonna take quite some work though :P</p>
<p>I’m taking French right now, but the class is so incredibly easy that I’ve come to sort of dislike the language. I think I’ll switch to Chinese or Arabic when I go to college.
I really want to learn Russian because there’s a book I can’t find in English that I want to read.
I’d also like to learn Sanskrit and (ancient) Greek and improve my rapidly fading knowledge of Latin.
Basically, I want to be a polyglot.</p>
<p>hahaha i want to learn spanish, as i just moved into California</p>
<p>PS i was not born in usa</p>
