Spanish, Mandarin, french, or german are your choices. Spanish seems like the obvious choice, but maybe it's Mandarin. For purposes of this hypo, you may consider whatever factors you deem important, but "usefulness" however you define it is important.

French, because I've already done German and Spanish, and I would like to read French literature in French. I can sort of read technical stuff, but not real literature. I might want to move to southern France and take up with a classy mademoiselle.

I was thinking this -- at least in the sense that it would be important if China really does become the world leading economy you would be better off knowing it than not knowing it. Spanish seems to be losing it's value as South America continues its decline.

Also, I don't think French really opens as many doors in Africa as people think.

Lmao @ “business” with the chinks like it’s 1995

the only legit reason to learn mandarin now is to work for the U.S. govt to help defeat the chink commie menace

Did anyone ever do "business" with China? IIRC everyone used to talk about this but no one has ever actually done such a thing.

Working on Dutch & French now. I wish I took them in HS/UG.

If I could literally turn back time, Latin or Old English.
