Ive been very itnerested in foreign languages in recent years, more than anything i feel that it would be cool just to be fluent in another language, part of me resents that the american public school system is so different from the european and asian school systems, anyway! ive been taking french for a long time, but now despite investing time ( and making some progress ), im thinking its not gonna be the most useful language, i am curious to know which language, if you had to choose one would be the most valuable to learn and the most high in demand, im very interested in learning a language such as japanese madarin or cantonese where the alphabet is compltely different, a non phonetic, tonal language, it provides a challenge but it would also be great to be proficient in a lanuage like that, suggestions comments anything?
