    Many highschools and colleges are now teaching Chinese, and even some of the grammar schools. Assess the future, and decide for yourself.

    Technically, those are classified as oriental languages. Of the languages you listed, Japanese will be the most rewarding to learn. I speak/read/write several languages and Mandarin Chinese is by far the most complex. Mandarin Chinese is very difficult to learn and retain without frequent practice with skilled speakers. Each word has five phonetic patterns (rising, falling, short, long, and crested) that change the meaning of the word. Add to that the task of learning the symbolic language and you have a real handful

    The four most widely spoken languages are English, Spanish, Chinese, and Hindi. Spanish is the easiest, hands down. Hindi is very structured with few irregular verbs, but some find the Devanagari script confusing despite its systematic structure. English has many irregular verbs and plural tenses, but is flexibly forgiving. And we already know about Chinese.

    Of course, if you have specific travel plans in mind, that may influence your choice; otherwise, Japanese is your best bet.
