What language should i learn?

Irish

Ideology

Kikuyu and you would get wealthy overnight. Ask nativeson

I'm going with trying to get each language I learn to about B2 level. Currently my German is about B1-B2, and I just started Spanish a few months ago. Then I'll move onto French. After that I would probably want to throw a Slavic language in... was thinking Croatian (total babes, amazing coastline).

Learn a language that will allow you to hold a conversation with somebody everyday. It would be nice to speak French or German or Spanish, but I don't know anybody around me here in Johannesburg that speaks any of those languages. It's probably different in the USA as there are so many foreigners at any time in your country.

As with so many things in life, practice makes perfect

Leaning towards a language that uses ideograms. Will probably choose either Chinese or Japanese. Anybody have any suggestions? Which languages will impress the ladies? Also open to other suggestions.

English. Moran.

Klingon

Please decipher the Minoan script and other unsolved ancient scripts

Doesn't really matter which language you choose because you're going to fail anyway. Learning languages requires a special kind of motivation. Create the need to learn a specific language, then you might have a chance.

Chinese is much easier than Japanese for a westerner to learn. Grammar is dead easy - no verb tense, no subject-verb agreement, no declension, etc. The tones are not that difficult once you are immersed in it. Additionally, Chinese men and women speak nearly identically, whereas Japanese men and women speak in markedly different ways. The fastest way to learn a language is from your sex partner. So if you are heterosexual, learning Japanese is that much more difficult - you learn to speak like a teenage girl and it will show.

Either way, if you are going to actually learn the language, you will have to live there for a few years. Not a bad thing.

Learn sign language. In the USA, there is American Sign Language (ASL) and Signing Exact English (SEE). They are both pretty much the same. A huge plus is that you already know English. As I taught SEE in community college for 17 years, I always had ex students come up to me to say that they got a job because they had put sign language on their resume (second language). Also, it is wonderful at parties or wherever.

1: Spanish

2: Java

Learn that English dialect where they put Rs everywhere for no reason.

Do you actually know ASL? I've never met anyone who actually knows ASL and would say that ASL and SEE are "pretty much the same."

You love yourself.

Most likely pretentious and annoying at family gatherings.

A language that is spoken by few. Scandinavian, Belgian, or Swiss.
