What languages do you know?
What languages are you familiar with/ have exposure with?
Which languages do you want to know?
Try here
I also hear Farsi is pretty easy to learn.

Why learn one with a different alphabet? It´ll probably be easier to learn one that isn´t a different alphabet.

If you are looking for a difficult language try Icelandic, I can help you some with that.

The above poster mentioned Persian, which sounds like another good choice if you are looking for simpler grammar.

I think when learning a language it´s important to figure out what you like the most. If you do not like the look or sound of one, you will be less motivated to learn it. Go to youtube, hear lots of different languages and read a bit about them i.e. their difficulty level, how many people speak it, what it looks like, etc.

I'm learning Mandarin at the moment and it's really good, especially being able to read symbols on t shirts and that knowing you'd be walking around with tree on you if you bought it lol
The grammar really simple too :)

I'm currently in my third year of Spanish in high school. I think I'd like to take it further, since I already know a lot (but I'm far from fluent :roll: ) and knowing Spanish in the U.S. would immensely boost your resume.
