Any of the following in my opinion,
French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian.
Tell kids to pick 2 out of that 5.
Just out of interest, why Russian? I learnt a bit as I spent a month in St Petersburg. Wish I'd learnt a bit more to be honest. At least I got the hang of Cyrillic... |

Massive language in business nowadays. Not as big as Mandarin or English but teaching Mandarin to GCSE pupils is too complicated for them at that age.

Started Spanish language classes at college for one night a week, I'm into year two now and have really enjoyed being able to talk with the locals whilst in Spain on Holidays. Still difficult to fully understand when listening to groups of Spanish people talking to each other,especially an excitable lot ! There is a girl on our course who is Dutch but is still top at learning Spanish language in a class full of English people which is pretty impressive.

I know enough German to get by.
A basic grasp of French.
I'd like to speak another language fluently. Haven't decided which one yet.

I did French at school and hated it. Complete waste of time.

My reason for going to college for Spanish language was at the start purely for getting by whilst on holidays to Spain but i found the first year really interesting and enjoyable so carried on into year two. My youngest daughter is also doing Spanish at school so we often try to go for an hour or two speaking Spanish to each other which has helped the both of us.

I lived in Germany for little while as a kid and the schools made no effort to teach young minds a new language, I've always considered that a shame.
People with strong family links with non-English speaking countries are likely to be multi-lingual from an early age and rightly so. My missus' aunt and uncle buggered off to France some years ago and now they are all perfectly fluent. The youngest cousins (now in their 20's) are essentially French with Bristolian as their broken English, very odd.
I don't speak any other languages and I won't pretend that my French GCSE counts.

Its a shame, because we expect everyone to know english, so most people can't be bothered. I always try and learn a few phrases in the native language. Because we expect people to speak english in the uk, so why cant us brits speak spainish in spain?
Probably because we ought to be able to master our own language first.  |

I did french between the ages of 11-14, then ditched it because it was too hard. I do kind of regret it now, but everyone speaks english anyway (BECOZ WE R THE BEST COUNTRY EVUH RITE)

I'm not too bad at Khmer but I'm far from fluent. I did French at school, although I probably speak more Bahasa Indonesia now, and what I know of that you could write on the back of an envelope.
Thinking of moving to Japan so I'll have to try learning at least some. Really want to properly learn one or all of French/Italian/Spanish before I die.
