At the University of Queensland they offer:

Chinse (They don't specify whether it's Mandarin or Cantonese)

French

German

Indoenesian

Japanese

Korean

Russian

Spanish

Classical Languages ( Latin, Ancient Greek)

Which should I learn? I'm leaning towards French or Spanish.

If they don't specify then I'm 99% sure it's Mandarin.

Learn the one you're most fascinated by, I guess. If it was me I'd learn French. Spanish & German are interesting too. Not really a fan of Indonesian/Japanese/Korean/Russian as they aren't of much/any use.

For me I'd learn the one that would be of most use. i.e Not Latin or Ancient Greek, unless you want to learn a language that was used 2000 years ago.

Probably Chinese or German.

I guess depends on what you want to get out of it. Expanding career opportunities, common interest, or you want to talk to your mate without anyone knowing what you're saying.

[Spike 12,049]

I'd fall under expanding career oppurtunities and common interest. It's a tough decision but I'll probably go for the most accessible.

Do both. You can't know enough romance languages.

Yeah I can see why most people would. Just the stuff that the two kids come out and say is crack up!

GET OUT OF THE PUB SLOTH.

Anyway, I'm doing my uni timetable at the moment and it's looking a right shambles. 2-3 hours a day across 5 days

[capriccioso 2,545]

Have it, UNSW. I have defeated your draconian class scheduling's and managed to get myself a day off:

I'm too much of a man to go to the doctor.

I'd do spanish. It is a fairly easy language to learn and is more widely spoken than English these days. There are some words very similar to English (the same goes for French) which makes learning it a lot easier and it is a language where every letter has a regular pronunciation.

I studied French at school for a while but Spanish is more useful from a travel perspective because it is spoken in every major South American country except Brazil and is also widely used in the Caribbean and central america. Spanish has a lot more 'regular' rules with regard to verb patterns compared to French too but if you wanted to learn Spanish fluently then it would be easy for you to learn French later because of how similar they are.

I won't be on the forums as much if at all for the next month or so (GCSE's to focus on) See you all later
