Languages... top three?

Question

i want to write a story (Common thing.) and its about a Government agent. The spy is a teenager, about 16/17. Now, she speaks English and i need two other languages. Can't be Spanish. What about Mandarin? Because its spoken all over the world. So help please. Cookies for those who do!

Answer 1

The United Nations has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

I think the top three are: English, Spanish and Mandarin.

Answer 2

An Asian and a European language defiantly.

I would suggest Mandarin for the Asian language and Italian maybe for the European one.

Answer 3

Hi, I think as she is a spy, your character should speak russian (chinese is spoken only in China even if there are a lot of chinese people all around the world).

The other language could be japanese, as Japan is one of the most developped country nowadays, furthermore it has got a big trade with many countries.

But if she is spy... she could speak italian (like me) to discover the "Mafia" and its gangsters.

You must decide, it's your story!! Good luck!!

Answer 4

English

Mandarin

Arabic

Answer 5

definitely mandarin and in todays climate - arabic is a must :D

Answer 6

french (spoken in france, in several african countries and in some polynesian countries).

maybe mandarin. it doesnt sound very cool though... mandarins not exactly a romantic or cool language.

Answer 7

Yes, definitely.

I had been raised being taught that all the time.

Mandarin is number 1

English number 2

and Spanish number 3

That's why I know English and Spanish fluently and

learning Mandarin.

But enough of that.. I think that it's perfect.

Things could be interesting as well if she spoke French of even Italian which is close to Spanish and make her go to like European countries. Always entertaining. G'luck!

Answer 9

Mandarin would be okay, but what would a Spy be doing in China?

Japanese  would be cool and you could have your spy go to the Japanese Underground and the cool mafia type things their.

Because of the War, Arabic or something like it would be helpful too.

Your story sounds like spy kids lol. Spies in today's society work in Intelligence and Reconnaissance for the Air Force especially and also in the Navy/ Army/ Marines. The training and intelligence you need takes about 10 years as you have to become a Captain before you are allowed to know anything.  

Answer 10

Mandarin, English, Latin (helps in studying)
