French, Spanish and Japanese . I can speak Chinese and about 50% Korean. I can read and write a bit of Chinese but i can't do neither in Korean.
Re: What International Languages Would You Learn If Given The Opportunity? by ThaProphet(m): 2:55pm On Aug 21, 2013
Swahili, French and Hausa, respectively.

Swahili because it is an African language and also, the most widely spoken language in Africa. I'd rather learn an African language first before picking up another European/Foreign language (I speak Yoruba and English)

French because of its strategic advantages. Would be nice to be able to communicate with my fellow Francophone Africans not because I like the language.

Hausa because it would be nice to learn a second language from my region which is called Nigeria. It is also the second most widely spoken language in Africa, I believe. This really should have been Igbo but the fact that the Hausa/Fulani language is spoken in many other African countries is very appealing.


Honorable mentions (yea, I know it should be only 3 but these languages also fascinate me): Igbo, Shona, Patois, Susu, Mende, Wolof, isiZulu, Portuguese, Creole to name a few (if a human brain can accommodate all)
