Please don't suggest the following.
-Spanish
-German
-Asian Languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Arabic, etc., although I wouldn't mind Persian/Farsi)
-Italian
-Portuguese
-Russian
-French
It's nothing against those languages, I just have no interest in learning them.
Besides those, suggest anything. I want to learn a language (or multiple) for a career, weather it be translator, interpreter, foreign media analyst, foreign language teacher/professor, anything that centers around foreign language.What's a good language to learn?
Well, you knocked out all the major languages.
Here are some:
-Polish
-Dutch
-Icelandic
-Swahili
-Haitian Creole
-Romanian
-Serbian
-Czech
-Ukranian
Edit: He said no Asian language, so that knocks out Thai and Arabic to the people below me. Also he said no German, no Spanish etc.
I am surprised people cannot follow simple guidelines to the question lol.
swahili is a very interesting language to learn or patois.What's a good language to learn?
If you learn arabic, you can make mad crazy money in the CIA. There are currently less than 10 people in the FBI and CIA that know arabic. Finish is a good one to learn, too. Not many people bother because it is so difficult, so translators are in very high demand.
Gosh, I love learning German.Such a beautiful language it is.
Here's a site you can go on to practice any language you want to learn.
(Like I said German is awesome!

depends where you live or where you plan to work really, if you speak a more common language, chances are you'll get more work as more people demand it.
one of the Scandinavian ones maybe (Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian.) They are quite similar to English and relatively easy to pronounce.
Polish is used a lot in certain areas but is harder to pronounce I think
Ok, for a language that is growing fast especially in the southern region, learn spanish. They are in need of translators in all trades. For business, learn German, French or an Asian language such as Korean or Japanese. BTW, all of the languages have very interesting cultures to learn so you couldn't go wrong. Good Luck, Buono Suerte, and all of that good stuff!
try urdu i speak it.
it not that hard but once you know urdu you also know hindi or other way around. you can watch indian movies (if you r interested in it)
best of luck for any language you like to take
enjoy the language it will b easier to learn
You can't get more culture then with the historical languages : Classical Sanskrit, Classical Tamil, Classical Persian, Middle Egyptian, Classical Hebrew, Classical Greek, Classical Latin, Classical Armenian, Classical Gaelic, and Classical Ottoman Turkish.
Russian is supposed to be one of the most difficult languages in the world for an English speaker to learn, next to Finnish.
Russian, at first hearing of it, it reminds you of German, but just looking at it in the Roman alphabet says German is not gonna be of any use to you.
Russian supposedly has:
A negative that acts like an adjective (I don't know how you can do that)
Three genders: Feminine, Masculine, and Sexless.
The Cyrillic alphabet. (you know the one, right?
three counting conjugations (English has singular and plural: Russian has singular, plural, and A LOT)
More conjugations of verbs and nouns than almost any other language
and
it isn't a very largely spoken language outside of Russia.
The biggest reward you would get from learnig Russian would be the mastery of difficult grammer rules, allowing other languages to become much easier.
Also, Farsi would be the most helpful for you nowadays, considering the war(s?) in the Middle East.
but the truth is, almost all of the languages that "don't interest you" would be much more practical than the few remaining scraps you've left yourself open to. I personally think Spanish is a boring language to learn, but, where I live, it's practically one of official languages of the area. A person who knows Spanish, Chinese, and English, is more likely to get a job than someone who can speak Gaelic, Hebrew, Russian, Romanche, English, and Finnish. The popular languages seem boring, but you're more likely to actually use them. however, the most helpful of the ones not on your list would be Farsi.
German! :)
