Learning Languages?

I'm learning advanced French in school (it's a lot easier to get employed if you have good French). Our school offers nothing else as in this country no other language is useful in the slightest especially that dirty foreign language of Spanish. I'm considering learning either Russian or Arabic.

The only French speaking people anywhere close to me were the Haitians and they speak their Creole abomination. I can't even talk to them, they might as well be speaking a different language. The only use I get out of speaking French is if I want to apper more cultured and girls tend to like it.

I would like to learn Latin, German, Dutch, and Ancient Greek.

Latin is not as relevent As it used to be,and my Spanish is getting, a little rusty.

Well with Latin you can learn Spanish, French, Portugeese, Italian, and Romanian better. I would say Ancient Greek is less relevenat

How large are the differences between Ancient and modern Greek anyway? I know they're not the same, but I don't really know what the differences are.

Huge differences. It is even said that the Greeks now are not ancestors of the original Greeks.

Well, being ruled by the Romans and Turks for such a long time must've had a lot of influence on their language and culture.

So the question is what happened to them?

Cultural assimilation, I guess.

Mandarin is becoming more and more important since China's becoming powerful, but I don't think it can really replace English... And if master the Mandarin written language... I've also (partially) mastered the written language of some other east Asian languages... Including Japanese and Cantonese...

Chinese will never replace English as the language of business.

True, the majority of the (first) world still uses the Latin alphabet, so English will stay dominant.

Stop with the ellipses. They are used when a thought is unfinished. Not in the place of a comma or period.

You could learn to speak American.:-D

I'm sorry but I don't want learn any of your backwards language.

To be fair, if the British didn't piss the Americans off, they would have never spawned the abomination that is American English.

American English makes considerably more phonetic sense than British English.
