I would love to learn a new language.Maybe French or German.However,and I mean this with all respect,French is hard to pronounce.German a lot of the words are the same as English,but the word order is much different than English and while the pronounciation doesn't appear to be too difficult a lot of the words are long and when German is spoken, like French it doesn't sound like English,even though English is related to both languages.Of course there is Spanish,Russian,Japanese,Chinese,but those I feel are too hard,atleast for me.It would ,if one could learn a new language ,open up a whole new World.Movies and newspapers would suddenly become available to you .However,unless one is moving to France,Germany,China,etc,what would be your reason for trying to learn a new language?Everyone here in the United States is expected to speak English,and where would you use another language unless outside of the United States?Or am I missing something?Would appreciate some thoughts from others?
