If you could learn a new language instantly, what would it be and why?

I would most likely choose Chinese. I'm learning Spanish now, and its not that hard. Chinese I would assume is pretty hard to learn, but I'd love to know the language.

Russian.
It sounds awesome.I know a few words because I watch 9th Company a lot.

Probably one of the harder ones. I've heard Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic can all be quite challenging, not sure which one I'd take out fo the three.

Sicilian, since I am Sicilian.

Or Latin, because I find Latin interesting.

Japanese or Russianclayron

Latin. If I know Latin, learning the romanic languages will be a cinch.

I'm currently learning Spanish, but I'd go for Latin, for no particular reason.

Japanese or Russianclayron

These two, along with German. It'd be funny XD

Well I speak all languages I wanted to... Maybe Japanese, tho I can't give a reason why exactly it.

i choose 3

russian, german and ukrainian

i am ukrainian and i am learning russian. all 3 would be awesome:D

A secret uncirculated European or Eastern language.

Or maybe make my own.

Russian, I could scare many people who still have cold war mentalities.

Mandarin Chinese or Arabic since they're the emerging languages. Already speak two fluently, a third one wouldn't be so bad hahaIAmLegend7

Arabic is quite easy. You should try to really learn that. I have.

German, because

A) It sounds awsome

B) Ancestry

French. I find it beautiful.

Russian or Swedish. Those are two countries I would like to visit. I'd also like to move to Sweden someday :)

Latin. If I know Latin, learning the romanic languages will be a cinch.

Theokhoth

I learned latin, It's pretty hard. Too many Conjugations and what not.

I'd learn Some more German, because I'm German. :P

Spanish 4 teh ladeez. 8)

Either Russian or Ukranian, so I could import S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games and get the european special editions before their released here,
Or, more practically, Arabic or Chinese, because of the large amount of people who speak those two languages.

I'll probably take an Arabic language course in University anyway. and hopefully talk to my friend and his brother in Arabic. :D

Any language but Spanish. I was reading this thread with moderately low blood pressure, but a few of the replies put a stop to that. Spanish is, bar none, the worst language ever spoken. I would rather cut out my tongue. I would rather piss out a cactus than learn that sorry excuse for a language.doritosandbeer

German as it would come in handy for when I finally get around to visiting the Nuerburgring and other places in Germany. French would also be handy for trips to Le Mans.

Probably one of the harder ones. I've heard Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic can all be quite challenging, not sure which one I'd take out fo the three.

Either Mandarin or French.

Spanish or Portuguese so I can spit game in South America.

Russian, for two reasons.

1. It just sounds awesome

2. I'm half Russian, so it'd be nice to learn the language of my ancestors.

Assuming that by "learn" you also mean it to a "master" extent - Malay. I'm sorely lacking there and learning it to a high grade will help me a lot where I live.

Chinese, since it would be the most useful.
