Odd...Did you take French prior to Freshman year? Maybe my word caused misunderstanding? I mean: I just finished French I during Freshman year. Oh no, your wording did not cause a misunderstanding, I'm just wondering if you took French prior to Freshman year as, at least in my school, you are in French II by Freshman year. You take French I in Freshman year if you either failed French I in middle school or if you didn't take French before. |

My classmates said they've taken Spanish and Latin, and this is also their first year studying French.(I took Geometry instead of Latin last year) |

After studying economics for nearly a year I've concluded that China will be a superpower in no time, so the best language to learn is Chinese actually. also Chinese people like it very much if you talk to them in their own language, and many don't prefer to talk in English.(though many do know English, example being our local gmod Manstein). Again, depends on where you live. If you live in the US of A or anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere, Portuguese, Spanish and English are your best bets. If you live in Pakistan, you'd want to know Mandarin, English and probably how to write Hindi. If you live in the Netherlands, you'd probably want to know German and English. All though Mandarin is a language that pretty much most people should know. Mandarin, English, Arabic, and German are probably big four in bussiness depending on your situation. If your in Asia no German but in Europe "Germoney" is pretty much the king of bussiness. |

4 years of Spanish under my belt. I wish I was smart enough back then to learn an important language like German, Mandarin, or Arabic. For business purposes of course. Edit: Might hit up Rosetta Stone to learn German after college. Spanish the best language to learn in a business perspective. A lot of people around the world speak it. The second would probably be Mandarin. I don't want to be in customer service lmao. |

Its not just customer service and the USA that makes spanish important...countries like Mexico and Chile are rapidly expanding economies, and now that the U.S has began to open up trade with Cuba, spanish will be important to know if your planning on working or dealing with or in countries in Latin America (other than Brazil or French speaking countries. But Portuguese and Spanish are so similar that you can get an understanding of what someone is saying in Portuguese if you know Spanish) |

No, those are completely different languages altrough it has Arabic influence |

You might be able to learn Arabic easier if you knew Spanish, but it definitely wouldn't be easy to learn Arabic nonetheless. A better way to approved Arabic imo is to maybe learn some Italian, then learn Maltese (as Maltese is (and I'm oversimplifying it here) basically Half italian and half arabic) and then try to learn Arabic. Or you can attack it straight on, idk, your call. |
