It depends on where you live and what you plan on doing.  In the United States especially in the south/ southwest Spanish is the best option just because of the wide use and there are a lot of resources and schools for learning Spanish.  If you want a future job in government the security languages are Russian, Farsi, and Arabic.  Chinese is also a very valuable language to learn, especially with their growing economy.

If I should limit myself to only one language it would be probably Arabic, it is very challenging. And of course, to improve my Spanish.\nHave a nice time!

I suggest you learn a third language. French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, just go for the one which might help you most in the future.

I know English and I am learning French. I know a lot of Urdu and understand it, but I cannot speak it fluently. My first choice to learn another language would be French cause it is really beautiful, but i am already learning it. I would choose Greek because it is rich in history.

Hi,\nHebrew as a second language...interesting.  I am multi-lingual and have noticed things about learning new languages.\n\nYou have already been supplied answers like:\n\n1) study\n2) immersion!!\n3) CD's, books, teachers\n4) speak to survive!\n5) stoned?\n\nThese suggestions are rated here:\n\n5 is useless...it just makes you think you're learning something when you're just wasting time.\n\n1 & 3 have been know to work but not rapidly.\n\n2 & 4 both work and work rapidly.  \n\nNow how to get there.  The language you intend to learn is of no consequence;  that is these concepts work with any language.\n\nLearning through chat rooms will gain you nearly nothing.  \n\nBeing younger is a distinct advantage.  If you are between 5 and 8 you will probably learn faster than those of other ages. \n\nYou need to live daily with those that exclusively speak your intended (new) language.  Having a person that speaks your native language fluently around is as much a hinderance as it is a benefit.  Optimally you'll have limited access to this person but have constant access to those who are only familiar but not fluent in your native language.  This forces you to do some of the language thinking.  Thinking in the new language helps you learn.  If you think you can learn without speaking out loud you are missing a large portion of the language learning process as well.  You need to say things out loud to people who will be attempting to understand you.  If they do, then you have positive reenforcement that will reward your efforts...and negative reenforcement for confusing or unclear communication.  When you mangle a sentence in your new language (which you will) you may see the listener wince telling you that you made a mistake.  This immediate feedback is most valuable in your learning.  Acceptance of your sentence and understanding from the listener is both rewarding and immediate and helps you learn that much faster.\n\nAfter you find yourself thinking in your new language, you are on your way.  Speak out loud, practice saying things that you hear, these are the two things that children constantly do that adults find annoying but are necessary for rapid learning.\n\nOops...I didn't mean to write another book.\n\nGood luck in your Hebrew endeavor.  I hope you're not just entering this lightly (e.g. because this cute guy is taking Hebrew too xP ) but ready for a lifelong commitment to knowing and understanding a new language and culture.

The fastest way of learning a language is through total immersion. The internet is a great resource but you may want to check what site or class or program you are using. There are some ripoffs out there but I would have to say go for it if you find a reliable source.

First, study the language. That is the most important thing. After you know the language, you can go on to more stuff.

It isn't too hard to learn. Spanish is the easiest. But german is actully easier than english. If you have a good CD that teaches German. I really liked A+ german. You can learn lots of words. It is best to have a teacher or someone who speaks it to help you get the hang of pronounciation. If you have opportunity to speak it with someone you are more likely to learn it and retain it. A language that you do not get to use is of no benefit. I learned it and didn't have anyone to speak it with , so I've forgotten a lot of it. My daughter learned spanish and has someone to speak it with so she has become fluent with it.

It's going to depend on which languages you want to learn.  If the languages you want to learn are European in origin, I have a suggestion.  \n\nWhen I was in High School, I wanted to take a foreign language course, and I had to choose between Spanish and French. I chose Spanish, but for various reasons, I failed it. For the next 24 years I was under the impression that I couldn't learn a second language.\n\nThen when my daughter was taking Spanish in High School, I found that I still remembered quite a bit of it, and began to rethink my impression about my linguistic ability.\n\nOne day I read that Esperanto was the easiest language on earth to learn. I began learning it as an experiment to see if I really could learn a foreign language. Now I'm fluent at it, and have gone on to learn Spanish (I finished the 3 Pimsleur's Spanish courses in 1 year), and moved on to German. Later I learned a little Polish (to take a business trip to Poland) and studied Mandarin Chinese (just because a friend told me about the free course work on chinesepod.com).\n\nKnowing Esperanto first, helped greatly in my other linguistic experiences, but the thing that surprised me the most was that there is a culture around Esperanto that is alive and vibrant, with Music and Literature (both translated and original). Esperanto is my favorite of all the languages, and the easiest to learn of all my language experiences.\n\nPope John Paul II has called Esperanto the "New Latin".  \n\nThis article on Wikipedia is a very interesting article about the benefits of learning Esperanto before other languages.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaedeutic_value_of_Esperanto

A program called Rosetta Stone makes language tutors that are very effective (I learned conversational german in a week) although somewhat pricey. They do have Hebrew. Also you should check with a local synogogue. Most do teach Hebrew.

Everyone says English but it might depend on what your first language is. If you speak German as a first language for example, you might find English (a Germanic language) easier to pick up than if you spoke Japanese as a first language. Ultimately, no language is any more or less difficult to learn than any other. It depends entirely on the person learning it (their experience learning other languages, how they are taught, why they are learning, etc.).
