Still, my passions run high at English. I want to learn Spanish,too. It sounds so cute and funny.
@Chris, My brother is learning German. It sounds like an old machine on its last leg :P
Your list has no influence. I want to learn German. It is not on the list. But German has the largest economical value for me. It's not always the number of speakers that is important. Germany is economically the big player in Europe. That billions of people speak a language does not mean the language is important to me. I cannot talk to all of them anyway. :-)
I agree, is also my favourite in Europe we just study the English British
Spanish. It is a widely-spoken language, just next to English. ^^
