I'd have to go with everyone else and say Spanish (although, I'm hardly a business person, so I don't know how useful Mandarin would be). However, there is one language that no one else mentioned that I would really like to learn: Sign Language. Other useful languages could be French (If you live in the northeast or New Orleans area) and Italian. One of the nice things about Spanish, Italian, and French is that once you are competent with one of these languages, the other two are much easier to read because they are all Latin based.

Depends upon what you think is beneficial to you or maybe your job. \n\nSpanish-It's different from country to country, but that is the language that we hear more often in the USA and it's good to know it.\n\nChinese-China will become the next world power. It's up there with India. If you want to get chosen from a lot of colleges, jobs, and know one of the most spoken languages in the world, go for it. Might be hard to get in a highschool. So if you want to learn it you would have to start in college, or go abroad for a year(which is amazing!) Also, knowing this language wows everybody\n\nFrench-Same as spanish. They speak in Africa, France(duh), it's a pretty funky french in Canada, and some islands have it.\n\nThen I would say Hindi, Arabic, German, American Sign, and Russian Languages, would all go to the next spot, because not only are they unique, but they also will get you a high spot in jobs someday. Problem. You are still in highschool. My school is fortunate enough to offer German, but some don't. \n\nIf your mom could teach you the philipine language while you are learning another language, that will better inhance a big plus sign with the colleges. As long as you're doing a good job with them. The more languages you know, the better the chances are that you will get more money. :-) hope this helped!!

I'd say Mandarin Chinese. Not only do you have to learn words ... inflection is also key ... and there are four inflections you can put on any word/syllable. And some of the words are best pronounced in a sing-song sort of tone. \n\nJapanese is definitely easier because it is not so heavily dependent on inflection. \n\nFrench, Spanish and German are all a piece of cake compared to Mandarin Chinese.

Everything is relative from your mother tongue. You could say that Spanish is easy for you if you speak Portuguese but it might be not so easy for English speakers. Gaelic is such a small language that is really worth learning just so you can say you speak a rare language. GO FOR 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

first you have to learn spanish, and second look for a job opportunity where they are seeking bilingual ppl.\n\nof course knowing a second language will be an advantage on all areas of your life, you can read books on their original languages, translations are usually very lousy; you can date a latina or latino (they're known to be hot), and you can vacation on the caribbean and feel like at home :)

Learn English, Chinese and Spanish.

Spanish for work in the US\n\nJapanese for international work (this is the best language for business communication)\n\nSign Language if you want to be a rare asset in the workforce... interpreters and hearing signers are very highly paid and appreciated!

I would say Italian. I have learned French and Spanish, and Italian is pretty much the same as Spanish. I found Spanish much easier to learn than French, although I learned French before Spanish. Grammar and pronounciation is easier.

It very much depends on where you live.  Spainish-speakers are the second most populous group in the United States.  Personally, I would learn Spanish.
