Just hypothetically, someone puts a gun to your head and says "learn a language" - or alternatively you decided to learn a language. Which do you choose, and maybe even why?

Just as a filter, programming languages are not what I (/a gunman)'m talking about.

I don't really like to travel, so I might be interested in learning Latin or something, but it's discouraging that it's seen as so pretentious.

I've always wanted to learn Polish, mainly because I'm half Plish and half of my family speaks it.

I'd want to learn the old Mycenaean language so that I could sell my knowledge to historians for huge cash.

Finish what I started, Spanish.

I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they would greet me with cries of hate.

I'd have to go with Japanese. I just view that as the most useful one to me.

German or Japanese, they're both languages that always sound angry.

Chinese, probably the Mandarin dialect. Why? Because China is becoming increasingly more of a world power, and thus you will see a lot of Chinese in business.

Besides, I know Japanese and French anyways......

I'd love to learn Korean, but I might as well just finish with Spanish.

I've always wanted to be fluent in Spanish, anyway.

Japanese is a horrific language.

I have family members that are Japanese and don't speak English fluently, and I still don't want to learn it.

None of you are allowed.

I took German, but I'm not very good at it, or foreign languages in general, period. However, I'd like to get better and practice it more whenever I have the time.
