If you could learn a second language, which language would it be and why?

Question

Does anyone of a good online learning resource for languages e.g French?

Answer 1

I speak English, Mandarin & French. On-line learning is only useful if you already have some basic knowledge of that language. The best way to master a language is to speak that language often.

Answer 2

Definitely Mandarin Chinese, that is the wave of the future. China is the India of the future, but more so. The investment opportunity in China is overwhelming. Think of the largest population on Earth opening up to new economic ventures. It's on the verge of explosion. A good second choice would be Spanish since this country is being invaded by immigrants from south of the border and the Hispanic population could be in the majority by 2020 - no judgement here, just the facts. As far as online learning resources, I'm not real sure, but I have used both Instant Immersion and Pimsler software packages and I would recommend either one. I learned German with Instant Immersion and brushed up on my French with Pimsler.

Answer 3

I would learn Spanish as I hope to move there when my daughter leaves school . I already speak 2 languages and can say some basics in others . I love learning languages always makes me feel that I can experience more when in their countries. Plan to start learning Spanish as soon as I can.

Answer 4

Why?? I love languages and is great having the hability to understand what people say in other countries

Answer 5

I cant say as a second language because I already can soeak two languages one is persian and the other is english but if I want to learn a third language it would be Chinese and Japanese.

Answer 6

Well, I already did. I took english at school. Later I studied French and German.

About your question, no, that is not a good idea . If you want to learn French, go to Paris

Answer 7

The language of social grace and humility is universal, I learned it from my aunt Mariuda. We went all over Michigan and to Chicago, she spoke only Portugues and I only American English and a smattering of Spanglish. I still have the "ann-ti-kee" cream pitcher she bought me while garage saling.

If I am fortunate my masters will be in Linguistics and I will be fluent in more than Blarney when my degree is finished.
