I speek several languages already I speek almost fluent French (i'm a bit rusty on complicated verbs) I speek fluent Inukatuk (Inuit language, My father is 1/2 inuit) and I can speek a bit of Spanish and Gaelic. I would live to be able to speek fluent Spanish, or Japanise it would be very useful in the jobmarket.

Gaelic. I think it's a beautiful-sounding language and I'd love to be able to understand the lyrics to some of my favorite songs

French, I think it sounds beautiful!

I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and don't remember hardly anything! I would like to speak that too.

I used to be fluent in French, but sadly with lack of practice, it's a little on the rusty side!


I can do conversational Greek, Spanish, Russian, Italian and Gujarati!


The main language that I'm developing on at the moment is my Gujarati!
I would like to improve on my Russian too though!

French is a nice unless your speeking to a francaphone from Hull or Trois Riviers that speeks out of the side of thir mouth so fast and uses english slang every once in a while to thow you compleetly off. Canadian french is so much different than Peresian french.

English = The Weekend
Peresian french = fin de semaine
frankaphone = le week-end

English = Refrigarator
Peresian french = refrigaratior
frankaphone = Frigedaire

It makes my head hurt...

I took French in school and I loved it, but now I don't remember a lot of it.


Spanish would be very useful I think in the U.S., so I might choose that.

I'd go with Spanish, like the ohers have mentioned, it would probably be the most useful... When I used to want to be a teacher I was going to double-major in Spanish and be certified bi-lingual as that would definitely up my chances at getting a job

Spanish becuause well if you don't speak english in the states you usually speak spanish. Plus a lot of jobs are more likely to hire you and pay you more if you speak both english and spanish. Especially call center which is where I work.

Haha! I couldn't agree more! I speak fluent spanish (have all my life) and I also speak french (though not as well) and man... when you leave MontrÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]al and start getting into the rural heavy Quebec accents, Trois Riviers is a good example, it's almost impossible to understand a word they are saying! I just want to yell at them to SPEAK CLEARLY! OPEN YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU SPEAK! TABERNAK! lol Oh well, it takes all kinds

Spanish would be very handy in Texas, but I have the incredible urge to learn Russian. People say I am crazy for thinking Russian is a beautiful language. It is! I learned spanish for 1 year in jr. High. I learned german for 2 years in high school. I can cuss you out, and tell if you are propositioning me for sex (actually happened on a school trip to germany). They assumed we were (german and legal). Nope, creepy.
