I have a huge urge to learn Spanish. I took it in high school, didn't really struggle...but I don't remember any of it. Just curious if any of you were bilingual or wanted to be?

French seems fun too, but I hate France, and Canada...don't they speak French in parts of Canada? Hmmm....

I speak german, hasn't done me alot of good all these years but looks good on a resume. Spanish would be better, at least you'll be able to order a big mac and large fries at McDonalds. (el biggo maco, fries Grande??) I suggest try being bi-curious instead of bilingual, maybe the french would appeal to you then... even Canadian french.

Thanks, CB. :D

We have two official languages, English and French. Quebec province is predominantly French speaking and there is a significant percentage of French speakers in pockets throughout the rest of the country.

Learning a second language is a very wise choice. Learning a third becomes even easier. It is also a factor in holding off aging in later life.

The french sound they have like peanut butter on the roof or their mouths. Lol

I took a semester of german. Really like it but useless unless you go to germany. I knlow enough to struggle through if i went there. Id like to learn russian they always sound angry.

Spanish is the way to go. Si. can definetely help with jobs.

Spanish for here. If you really want to make some money down the road, learn Chinese or Arabic. Highly needed. Would probably be a shoe in for Homeland Security type job. $$$$$

I should note that I was joking about hating the French and Canadians.

I speak English. The language that should be learned by everyone that chooses to live here. I sure wish the Govt. would hurry up and pass a law that all Govt. business had to be done in English only when dealing with the American public. No Govt. paperwork printed in another language. No Govt. paid for translators when dealing with the public.
It is ridiculous that I am expected to learn a second language just so I can order breakfast, or ask the clerk a question.

And to make it perfectly clear. I am not singling out any one particular group or race of people. There is nothing in my post that is racial or derogatory.

This thread has no topic, therefor it can not be "derailed" or brought off topic. It's like dividing by 0, undefined.
Turbos decrease fuel economy, as do quad power (four strap) spark plugs and even electric superchargers.
The government is a major force behind modern cars getting such bad MPG, Affirmative action is racism.
Nutella is delicious, Jesus is Jewish, Increasing taxes or reducing the value of the dollar (increasing debt) is bad for economic growth.
