#4 Mandarin Chinese-This language makes it onto the list for multiple reasons. Chinese is not only the #1 most spoken language in the world but it is also the official language of the US's top business partner. There are massive business opportunities that can arise from knowing Chinese. Many companies here in the United States have dealings with China and need ambassadors who know the language. If one takes the time to learn this complicated language, who knows, they may end up going on an unforgettable business trip to China. Another benefit to learning Chinese is the vast and diverse cultural experience that will come with studying the language. China is over 5000 years old and contains much history within its culture. Just that in and of itself is enough to want to learn the language.
#3 Spanish- Spanish has simple grammar, easy pronunciation, mega opportunities for use in the US, and BEAUTIFUL speakers. What more could you want from a language? There is a certain sexy vibe that comes along with Spanish. I probably could listen to Shakira roll her rr's all day long. Waka Waka! Anyways, back to the practical uses of Spanish. Besides wooing a Latino, Spanish can come in very handy in a human relations job. Everyone from doctors to accountants will benefit from knowing at least a little Spanish because America, being a melting pot of culture, is currently experiencing massive amounts of immigration from our neighbors to the South. This means an influx of native Spanish speakers into our country. As an American, if you desire to learn a practical second language, Español would be one of the best to start with. Luckily, Spanish has one of the fastest rates to fluency. With full immersion in a Latin culture, you could be well on your way to fluency within 6 months.
