I was thinking of learning one of the following: - Mandarin (to look good on resumes particularly for investment jobs) - French (very useful, especially in Canada which is officially bilingual) - Russian (fairly useful, Russian itself is quite widespread but this would be mainly to further my studies of Russian history) Any suggestions or tips?

Mandarin (at an adequate level) may be too much effort, especially for something that you're doing in your spare time. Russian! |

That's not what happened in Fallout! As an aside, I did not do well in French in school and find the grammar extremely annoying ![]() @Fratt: Isn't Russian extremely hard too though? |

It should be much easier than Mandarin because it's non-tonal. I guess getting used to the alphabet could be annoying, but I don't know how hard it actually is. |

I thought Mandarin was non-tonal though as well though? At least compared to Cantonese which is apparently quite a bit harder. Me either lol. But Russian writing does look super cool! |

Mandarin is a tonal language. It would be amazing to know it, but it seems like a pain to learn. At least with Russian you can understand what's going on.

It depends on how much time you have. Since you're busy with school, I'd say mandarin is out. If you think you have enough time, I'd go with Russian, but I think French is the safest option. |

The grammar isn't too difficult, the most difficult part of the grammar (for me at least) is the conjugation. There's so many different endings for irregular verbs, and all the -er verbs have different endings depending on whether you use je (I), tu (you), il (he), elle (she), on (I've forgotten), nous (we), vous (you plural), ils (them male) and elles (them female). |

The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim." ~ Thomas Babington Macaulay What I hope to be
