I would like to learn German and Japanese.
German because it just sounds cool. Japanese for when they eventually become the dominant nation and everyone has to speak it.

I would also like to learn another lang because when someone is being rude and talking another lang in front of me (and knowing they can speak english) I can just come back at them with a smartass remark

3 teachers is better than 0. Last year, I heard the German teacher was leaving, and that another teacher, the Spanish one, was taking over. So, I signed up for German II. It was on the sheet, so I assumed there wouldn't be a problem. Then, we registered. It was on the schedule I was given, so I assumed there wouldn't be a problem. There was a problem. That problem was that there was no German teacher.
I'll let that sink in... Good. Yes, it's true, they didn't hire a German teacher. Since the fault is obviously theirs, one would assume they'd have some options for those of us who foolishly signed up for it, right? Well, they did. The options were a) Find a way to get to Hazelwood Central (a nearby school that HAD a German teacher) and take the class there, or b) Transfer to Central. Luckily, the idiot administration managed to hire a German teacher like a week before school started. Still, they're all fucking retarded.

i took spanish for 3 years and didn't learn shit. i know random words. but if a person is to learn a different lang and wants to know how to speak it fluently, they should live in the place that speaks the lang. i went to Japan for a month to visit family and i learned soo much. learning is good for the mind. keeps it from rotting

Speak and understand a little Spanish, enough to get me by I guess. What I really want to learn is Russian, I would so love to go to the former Soviet Union.
I used to work with a guy who was from Lithuania (forgive if I spelled it wrong) he could speak like 17 different languages and different dialects of some of them also.

i dont see a problem with learning ANYTHING and i think learning a language helps with abstract thinking as well as actually teacing us grammar. theres a difference between learning a language and fully understanding it, than speaking the way most of us do which is by memory. i didnt know all this subjunctive crap til i etook german
anyway. im gonna be a cop and it would be better to learn a language so im thinking of leraning tagalog. i already understand a good 90% of it so figure why not go all the way. not interested in spanish at all though, but i do plan on learning at least the basics.
