I’m in 8th grade, and the gifted program at my middle school is allowing all gifted students to learn 1 of 3 languages using Rosetta Stone. The choices are Chinese, Japanese, or German. I can’t decide what I want to take! Most of my classmates are taking Japanese. I think that the most useful would be Chinese, but I’ve heard that it is a very difficult language. What do you think? (with explanation)

Also, we get to take it in highschool.

Learning a second language will of course be difficult, but, how difficult is it to learn English compared to other languages? What are some unique difficulties learning English presents?

Thank you in advance to all who answer.

I want to be able to read the bible in its original language, which will require me to learn Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. I don’t wish to write or speak these languages, just read in them. How long will this take?

I’m interested in becoming a linguist when I get a bit older, and I want to learn as many languages as I can. What language would you suggest I start with?

I’m planning on becoming an RN and moving down south to like Florida, Georgia, maybe Texas, and so on down south. I know many of you will say spanish because of Texas but is there any other languages that would be useful if I don’t move to Texas? I was thinking like Chinese, Japanese because the language is becoming more common in America these days. Thank you. I will post more details with your comments.
