强烈推荐西班牙语， 第一，它无论是使用范围和使用人数都列世界第三，本不应该属于小语种，但是全国开小语种的大学太少了，好像只有5个城市有，反正在武汉没有一所高校开设了这门课因此人才稀缺。第二，经过综合比较，我觉得除了英语之外，最简单的就是它了。第三，他和法语，意大利语，葡萄牙语等语言结构非常相似， 甚至在《语言学纲要》一书中，西，葡，意三语的关系被描述成类似于普通话和方言的关系（这一点我确信不疑，因为曾经我的西班牙语外教对门住着一个会说意大利语的人，他们每天一个说西语一个说意语，聊的不亦乐乎），仅仅因为政治的原因而被分化成为三种语言，所以西班牙语学起来很划算。 这就是我的建议

Well the most widely spoken languages would be English, Chinese, French and Arabic. However Japanese is very useful for employment due to the high concentration of Technology in development. I would pick the language and culture that interests you the most. The more interest the more motivation to learn the language making it much easier. Hope this helps!

hi,i think your question is interesting.in japan,many people try to learn english.i don't know whether i should say "english is most popular language".but maybe most useful languge. i heaed that story in the past.a couple of people study very minor lanuage to become a translater.english speakers live in japan a lot actually.so eveb uf we could sepak/write..ect..dosn't mean we can get a job easily. if you learn monor(very minor language),you might become a translater or here in japan,a comedian speak a minor language(i forgot the language although)and people pay attention to hi,"although you look funny,act funny,how you master the minor language". it is interesteng to know your question.thank you. from itou

english , spanish , and french

English is the best language in all aspects. I suggest that you learn english first and then proceed with the European languages. Those languages may not be as popular and useful now but always think in advance( like, Will these languages be so much useful after 3 years?). At the time you are about to begin working, that's the time that those languages will BOOM. You'll see. I swear! You'll be surprised too. ^^
