Hey, I was just wondering what you guys thought would be the most useful language... For me, I'm at a crossroad between French, Spanish and German.
I'm needing to pick a language for school and I want the most useful/practical for business. To be honest, I have even considered what location would have the best girls...

Ideally, I want to have a business-related job in a great city filled with lots of life.

Not on your list, but I think Chinese (Mandarin) is by far the most useful.

since you're from vancouver, go with french.
almost all demanding jobs will pay you extra +benefits to be able to speak french.
learning the language is pretty straight forward, the phonetics however....may be a little difficult.
edit: imo the bitches in montreal and quebec are nice

Haha, yeah.. French and German sound good for me. Mandarin would probably be the most beneficial but I heard it's very hard. Thanks for the opinions!

I'm picking up chinese at university and i've been reading a little bit, so far much simpler than spanish which i studied for 3 years. Also did german, much easier to learn than spanish too.

Yeah spanish is regarded as an easy language in general, so is chinese tho, i just really suck at it but maybe it's because my teacher was a stupid mexican hoe and i don't like the language at all

French is that international peace keeping language, might be useful in some business. I feel as if German would also be good, but I think a lot of Germans speak English. Master French and get a lowkey working knowledge of German and Mandarin
