Default If you could be fluent in another language, which one would you choose?
I'd choose Russian. I'm learning it at the moment and I find it so fascinating, such a logical language but there are so many rules to learn... it sounds really nice as well, lots of "sh" and "ch" sounds, and millions of people speak Russian too so I think it would be useful.

How about you?

Spanish just for it's sheer usefulness in multiple countries

Japanese because I love Japanese culture

French! But it's very closely flowed by Spanish.

I'd love to be fluent in another language.

I've always loved the German and Russian language, so either of them.

German because it sounds harsh, quite the opposite of Latin languages really.

I learned three languages at school, Latin, French and German. I would like to refresh my memory on two of those, French and German . Also learn Spanish.

Take an evening class maybe? Or get one of those Rosetta Stone things, they're meant to be amazing... I quite like using the ___ Phrases for Dummies (whatever language you choose), they're always really good.

..yeah, I did take an evening class, well it was weekends actually..we all did it together..(la famille..)..I think maybe that was the problem, we didn't take it seriously enough and kept messing around/bad students...
