    John.

    I'm learning German at the moment, and I fully intend to use it and live abroad after Uni.

    I always wanted to learn Russian, but it's probably not very useful. I'd say that Mandarin and Arabic are probably VERY useful languages nowadays, and both very complex.

    Either spanish, french or German. Those are the 3 top languages that I can think of that you should learn. The top one is spanish. Now a days, it seems that most people that live in the US(especially the west) speaks spanish. Speaking spanish is very usefull in jobs. If you work at a hospital, or you go to eat at McDonalds(Welgon to Madonnas!!!, that's what is sounds like to me), you really need to learn spanish to get bye in California, most South West states, Florida, I'm sad I took french in school instead of spanish.

    Persian. A beautiful language, which is more closely related to European languages than Arabic. I would like to learn it some time as well.

    Sanskrit

    Sir William Jones said:

    The Sanskrit language whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and in the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong, indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists.

    I speak four: English, Indonesian, Italian and German.(plus have some competency in Spanish, French, Dutch and Balinese) I use all four regularly in different situations. It really depends on what you are intending to do with the language, and, to some extent, where you are from. If you are from the US, I would say French if you are intending to visit Canada or Europe, Spanish if you are intending to work amongst Latin peoples in the US or travelling to central and south america. It really isn't much use learning a language if you never use it.

    Japanese is a great language to learn. As far as business goes alot of places are doing business with Japan right now, and to be able to speak their language says alot. Plus it sounds cool. I'm learning it right now. Konichiwa. Genki desu ka?
