Spanish is probably most useful but Italian would be my choice. I want to either retire or spend a lot of time in Italy later in life.

My wife is passable in Spanish. There are enough similarities between Spanish and Italian that we could navigate fairly well in Italy with her limited skills and knowing some often used words/phrases.

Arabic, because my biological father’s first language is Arabic and, even though he and his family have lived in the States for many years and speak good English, I think it would be awesome to communicate with them in their native language.

Spanish would be most practical but Arabic because I am around them some and just to shock them when they find out I know what they are saying LOL

No offense to your family but some of this bunch I don't care for much. I have done business with some that are good folks.

If you learned Spanish you could understand what all the illegals were talking about.

For me though it would be Russian or Sign

I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère. It's like wiping your arse with silk. I love it.

As someone that knows both, my opinion is that the similarities are very little in helping getting around without some studying unless you just need the bathroom. Both beautiful languages.

My choice would probably be German or Chinese. Tried to learn a little Mandarin for travel and it was hard.

I also remember my younger sister coming home telling how the teacher was fussing at her and threatening to slap her left hand if she didn't start using her right hand to do work. Strange times in education back then. Oh, and she never did change and remains left hand dominant to this day.

I'm glad there has been a revitalization of the Cajun Heritage and a lot of the old things are now embraced.

Spanish. It's the language of labor and we're on a lot of construction sites.
