I'm to study a language for 10 weeks in the native country said language. but i haven't decided on a language yet.....

what ,in your experience, is a nice language that is also useful, and is from a great country?

dutch for instance would be utterly useless, they literally all speak english, generally perfectly.

I'll say German probably because I have some roots on that side and I've always wanted to learn it.

Well, If you can learn danish, you can learn any language. Basically, it makes no sense at all. It's just a bunch of jiba jaba. Really. That's why everything else after you've learned danish is gonna' seem like stealing candy from a kid on a wheelchair.

Well, the significant other was teaching it to me so that helps. Mum could not speak the english so I learned some to try and talk with her a bit.

There are really 3 languages that might be of use to you later in life, English, spanish, and Mandarin. These are the most spoken languages in the world so they will be of most benefit to you in life.

Behind English, Mandarin Chinese is going to be the next big "world language." So if you want something useful for more than a career in teaching that language, or using it for academic studies, then Mandarin is the only one you really need to learn.

I just rewatched it for the 3rd time, I'm still in tears. The milkman after he gets told how many bottles of milk to drop off, singing jibberish while he thinks to himself:"maintain appearances, maintain appearances ffs" just flat out kills me. (x

I'd say Mandarin as well. It's a steep curve at first, but gets easier. Plus, if you're gonna live in the country, Chinese food is awesome, cheap, and everywhere.

Well preferably one that you don't know... Personaly I would suggest french, in most evrey other country you can have quite decent communication in english with just about anyone (western countries ofcourse :P), but a frenchie will probably earlier eat a bull johnson then speak english. And I have had first hand experience with them, you will have issues ordering at a cafe in France sometimes...

Depends what country you're from TC. The best languages to learn in the UK are Kurdish, Farsi, Mandurin and Polish but it differs for all countries.

German, I'd say. It's the most spoken native language in the EU and the second most spoken language overall in the EU. It would induce in thee what I believe to be a reasonably moderate felicity.
