Should I learn Japanese or Spanish?

I've been learning Japanese for two years now and have a Jpanaese girlfriend and I still can't string a sentence together.  It's hard but not impossible, but unless your really good at learning languages I'd go for Spanish, which is a beautiful language anyway.

French is a splendid choice - as it is understood and spoken in most European countries where English is still hardly known !\nSince you already know Spanish, it will be quite easy to learn French - as they both have a lot in common.\n...As far as accent goes, you are the best judge : Does your spoken Spanish reek of an English accent ? Then, your French might too. \nBut if your Spanish sounds like the 'real thing', it means that you do have an ear for phonetic accents - and can easily learn to converse with a good French accent, if you make up your mind to...\nBest of Luck, friend.

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.

Latin is an excelent language to learn if you are planning to work in the health-related fields, and you will have a greater understanding of current english words and how they cease to be.\n\nI'm assuming you want something that your school does not offer (since the only last two your school DOES offer do not interest you)I would like to recommend Greek or Japanese.

Spanish is the easier language to learn. It is spelled phonetically and pronunctiation is very easy to learn. There are Spanish speakers on every continent, I believe.\nFrench is more difficult to learn, but advantageous if you are going to a country where it is spoken.

Spanish, easy on the tongue, flows like a song, very easy to pick up, and is only second to the US, all over the world. Will definately not be a waste of time. I Took french all through high school, can't remember a word because its used very little here.\nSpanish on the other hand is as important as english. It is my third laguage, truly a wonderful language to learn and easy too.\nGood Luck

It depends if you want to make money with the language or not.  There are many Indian languages not just one. So choosing one may be hard.  Urdu and Hindi are almost the same so I would start there.  And there are many Indians in the US so there is a market for interperitors if you can become fluent. Right now the biggest market for interpertors is in Arabic due to the political situation.  But Spanish is an easy language to learn and very similar to French.  You could learn Spanish and then pick up french in no time because they are so similar.  My husband knows french I know Spanish and most of the time I can understand him.

Well, I lived in Japan for two years, and I learned Japanese language at a respected Japanese university, but in fact I found that practicing Japanese language with normal Japanese people in daily life situations is more helpful than language course it self.\nSo, if you are going to stay for one year in Japan, it is good to take the language course and try to make Japanese friends so you can practice it.\nBeside the university; I tried the following school and they have good programs for teaching Japanese language to the foreigners:\nTrident language school: http://www.kawai-juku.ac.jp/j-lang/english/index.html \ngood luck

I would recommend Study Spanish at http://www.studyspanish.com\n\nIt has a lot of free material; even thought the Advanced and Certification levels are paid.\n\nIt has audio clips to help you learn the pronunciation, too.\n\nAll the best.

You shouldn't rely on one source to learn a language because they might have different points of view on things. I suggest that you use books, software, videos, and cassettes/ CDs to help you. Also, the Rosetta Stone one is pretty good and I think is worth it. It's up to you to decide.

I'd say if you live in America and you dont speak English, then English. If you do, then Spanish.

Japanese.  I know from personal experience.  English-speakers usually think that learning a language closely related to their own is easier, but in fact it is more difficult and confusing.  After two years of college-level Japanese, I am 10 times as fluent in it as the 2nd-year Spanish students are in Spanish.  The other thing about Japanese is that the spelling is phonetic--meaning, words are spelled *exactly* like they sound.  Much easier.\n\nPlus, if you learn Japanese, you can watch anime without subtitles ^^
