    Chinese. Already know multiple Indo-European languages. Would be cool to know other language families, I only speak languages from two right now.

    Chinese because Italian would be a lot easier to learn on my own.

    Chinese. It’s a lot harder to learn since I know a ton of Spanish. It’s also one of the most widely spoken languages in the world

    Italian, because i already know chinese, and since written knowledge isn’t instantly gained it didn’t help much in my case.

    Italian would be nice but chinese might be more practical. I had to take five quarters of a foreign language in college, and someone suggested Farsi (Persian) saying it would be easy because it’s just learning a new alphabet. HA. It was hard as hell, the grammar rules never made sense to me, but I stuck it out for five quarters but barely remember any of it.

    Seeing as I am already Italian I suppose I will pick Chinese.

    Also I guess I’m going to be that guy. “La vida es bella” is not Italian, it’s Spanish lol.

    If I was a young man again, Italian. Because aside from French, it does the most for ladies; especially those that don’t understand the language.

    At my current age, Chinese. Because it will come in the most useful for WWIII. After all, when China finally invades Taiwan, western powers are going to go all racist again with internment camps to hold visibly ethnic people, and not all of them will know English well. They will need translator advocates.

      On the other hand Hong Kong has a lot of English mixed in due to tourism (and its history) so you won’t fare too bad even if you didnt know how to speak
