If you could instantly learn a language, which one would you pick?

Pig Latin

I'd pick Danish for sentimental reasons. My mother learned it as a child when she lived there for a couple years. She always spoke about going back there for some time when she had retired... sadly she didn't live long enough.
If I'd pick a language for practical reasons I'd most like choose french or spanish.

Chinese ... instantly be able to communicate with 1.4 billion people more (in theory)

Well im spanish and I already know english... so french!

hmm so many to pick, you got chinese, french, japanese, klingon, elvish, latin, spanish, better english.... so many to pick.
I'll go with vulcan, they have a language right?

Klingon for sure. I have a hard time understanding the other nerds at work.

spanish or italian would be my number 1s simply cuz family on both sides and learning languages was never my specialty in school. other choice would be japanese because one day id love to spend time there. Food, culture, architecture and their geography is something id love to experience

C# >:-)

Russian or Spanish :) I'm good with English, okay-ish with German (need practice) and I just feel like these languages are intresting to learn, at least for me.

Why is it so difficult to pronounce "th" in English :(

Finnish!

I learned Katakana on my own, could learn more if I want to, but not in the mood to.

I know Arabic, so I don't have to learn that.

Restarted my interest in German, and I intend to fully learn it, so not going wish to instantly learn it.

Then there's Chinese. Another language that is very huge and great for business. So i'd like to learn Chinese.

Chinese, I feel like the future of business is in China.

Without a doubt I would want to learn German

Südgeorgien und die Südlichen Sandwichinseln ß

Yall need to lay off the anime...
:P

russian obviously....you know? for my ail order bride.

I'd pick elvish language from lotr

voted for chinese and japanese beacuse my country near them

I think I would go for something like ancient Akkadian or some other ancient language that isn't well known, so that I could do some cool archaeological stuff.

Definitely Japanese. I'm actually learning it now and I'm already able to communicate on a regular basis. But still, it's my favourite language and one of my dreams is to be able to master it completely. And it seems that I'm not the only one who thinks this way as I can see that there are many others who choose Japanese from the results

german? really? ^^ and why japanese... ew.. I'd pick english

Chinese would probably be the most useful to me, followed by Russian, German & Portuguese.

Icelandic would be fun to learn though, if for no other reason than because it would be such an unexpected language for someone to know. Latin would also be fun, as it would help me read a few more historical sources (though that would again be a "just for fun" kind of thing).

konichiwa!
