    I speak, therefore I am.

    I've decided that it's time to learn a different language. This wonderfull place that we call, the Internet is starting to make me feel confined to only what I am able to read. Yes, there are translators. But you just dont get the same satisfaction and worldy knowledge of knowing a second or third language. So, I guess I have some choices to make. Which language sould I learn? Well. I do know some Korean (from taking Tae Kown Doe) but I would like to lean maybe, Japanese but idk.

    Any thoughts, ideas, comments? Do any of you know a second or third language?

    Why not go for the most widely spoken language in the world Chinese, Mandarin.

    Tough language to speak, even harder to read. Would be nice to know, though.

    There's a difference between "widely spoken" and "largest spoken".

    Dutch... No, but seriously: I believe German is widely spoken, as are French and Spanish.
