Question

I live in Singapore and I am a first year banking and finance student. I have no idea where i want to work or anything but because my schedule allows me for a 3rd language, i would like to pick one up. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Spanish or French

Answer 2

french

Answer 3

I am brazilian and know for sure that portuguese in an wonderful language...but considering that there are a lot of countries which speak spanish I advise you to learn spanish first and then, portuguese will become easy to you.They are very similar.

Answer 4

You should learn Japanese. Many of the Kanji are the same so, all you would have to learn are the Japanese pronunciations and the Hiragana and Katakana. It would be a breeze.

Answer 5

hmm...i would think french, so u could work in europe, but it is not really necessary sincce u know english. but its a plus because i heard that in some parts of switzerland they speak french (since they have such good banks there)

Answer 6

French, Spanish, Russian, or Arabic.  What part of the world could you possibly see yourself working in?  Spanish is a huge language and French is the official language in over 22 countries.

Answer 7

French.  

Answer 8

I guess from what I read, it's a battle between French and Spanish. I would go with French, because they not only speak it in Europe, they also speak it in Canada (well mostly restricted in the Quebec area, but it is their second language). If you want to pick a language strictly for leisure, then I would choose Japanese. I find it easy to learn Korean and Japanese, because they're similar to Mandarin. But if you're thinking of expanding your horizons regarding job opportunities, then I would recommend French. And that's because I don't know much about Spanish. Choose whichever one is harder (French, I believe), because once you know French and English, Spanish will come easily to you ^^.

Answer 9

Arabic

Answer 10

I would opt for a Romance language.  Spanish is spoken in more countries than any other Romance language, so that's what I would select.

Answer 11

(Brazilian) Portuguese, Russian or French.

Answer 12
