Near everyone who speaks german speaks english so german is pretty useless.

Mandarin

[#8]

I'd add Russian, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese to my English, French, and Spanish.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:23:21 PM EDT

[#9]

Basque, and the dialect of Spanish spoken around here, i.e Mexican.....

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:24:58 PM EDT

[#10]

Spanish, Russian, and Chinese. In that order.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:25:18 PM EDT

I speak spanish (learned it at 12 years old while living in PR and DR).
Would like to speak German.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:25:42 PM EDT

[#12]

Around here, Spanish would be the most useful.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:26:09 PM EDT

[#13]

Spanish or Arabic for a job.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:26:16 PM EDT

[#14]

Spanish for practicality, Italian for fun.

Russian, but I think I will take German classes instead, much easier to learn

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:26:41 PM EDT

[#17]

I speak Latin in addition to English, (moderately good or bad, depending on subject

) and I am learning Russian, Greek, and Italian

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:27:28 PM EDT

[#18]

I would like to learn japanese.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:27:30 PM EDT

[#19]

Korean, most definitely.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:28:17 PM EDT

[#20]

Other than English, I can speak:

Vietnamese
Putonghua
Spanish
Italian

That's enough....

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:28:28 PM EDT

[#21]

Korean, so that I can tell you that I am in love with your avatar.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:29:56 PM EDT

[#22]

I would like to learn how to speak woman.

I've never quite been able to comprehend or understand a damn thing they say.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:32:18 PM EDT

[#23]

Still working on Tagalog.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:32:41 PM EDT

[#24]

Well,I am half kraut,so I guess german,at least then I could make some sense of that whole ramstien mess.

In most U.S. high schools the choices are French, Spanish, Latin and German right?

My high school stopped teaching german due to low enrollment.

Thai.

The fiancee got us Rosetta Stone for Christmas. It's fun, but we haven't had a lot of time to work on it yet.

Ditto. And maybe learn German too.

My father speaks English, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Japanese, some German and some Russian.

He grew up during WW2, can you tell?

Know your enemy!

English is my first language, and I have poor proficiency in Spanish and Mandarin. I also studied Latin for two years in high school.

I voted Arabic. Same thing about knowing your enemy; it's the same deal but the language has changed.

I want to get much better at German and Russian than I was, much less better than I am. I'd also like to learn Finnish, mainly for a lark, and Arabic and/or Farsi for a potential job skill.

I've always had a fascination with Russia and Cold War history. I would love to be able to read and speak Russian.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:58:36 PM EDT

[#33]

Have Russian and Portuguese down. Working on Farsi.

Posted: 2/23/2010 6:58:58 PM EDT

[#34]

German

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:01:38 PM EDT

[#35]

The only other language I speak (or read) with any real competency is German: More reading than speaking.
I would like to (and am working on) Japanese....although whoever came up with the Kanji can go to hell.

EDIT: Kanji isn't nearly as bad to learn as Arabic script.

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:01:39 PM EDT

Spanish would be useful, Gaelic would be interesting

+1

OP: Russian. Have learner's dictionary and CD-rom just haven't had time to sit and try it. I took German in Highschool, and still talk to a few Austrian friends with it.

This. Did German in undergrad.
Arabic would be quite useful.

This is going to sound stupid, but all of them.

I have bought a couple of books and CD's on how to speak German, and one day
would love to have the Rosetta Stone German language course.

I want to go to Oktoberfest one day and it would be great to be able to ask some fraulein in her native language
"Where is the bathroom......I gotta piss like a racehorse"?

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:06:45 PM EDT

I'd like to become more fluent in Spanish and to learn Croatian and Italian.

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:06:54 PM EDT

[#42]

Pashtun or Farsi.

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:06:56 PM EDT

[#43]

La mia estremità, vorrei rompere l'italiano.

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:08:09 PM EDT

[#44]

Irish gaelic and/or Galego would be the top two on my list to learn.

I already speak/read/write russian courtesy of your tax dollars (circa 1986). I'd like to brush up on it a bit better though.

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:08:21 PM EDT

[#45]

Welsh. It's the Mandarin of the future.

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:10:15 PM EDT

[#46]

French so I could have a chance to join the French Legionaires

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:11:58 PM EDT

[#47]

Better Italian (I speak and understand Tarzan Italian now

)

German

Posted: 2/23/2010 7:12:08 PM EDT

[#48]

In reality Spanish would probably be most useful to me.

But I could get a cool job if I spoke fluent Arabic (or Farsi)

I would have to be good enough not to let the "GURGLE GURGLE" affect my translation.

No need. But you WILL learn it during indoctrination. Just do it.
