I've been studying Mandarin for awhile, and I've decided to branch out. I waste four years in Latin while at High School, so I probably want to study a Romance language. I kind of dislike Spanish, but I'd like to hear many opinions.

Also cocks.

Romanian is the most interesting of the romance languages (Latin similarities, slav/hungarian influences, etc...)
Spanish is the most useful.
The others are kind of a waste of time. This coming from a native Portuguese speaker.

Well, I'm not really  much concerned about usefulness, given how many people there are to talk to with Mandarin and English. I haven't been to Romance-speaking parts of Europe very much, so I was just curious about general experiences with the people, the cities, and the enjoyment other people have gotten from learning these languages.

Well, if you're a Britfag, which I'm assuming you are, then you'll probably just inherit the Spanish accent, which is the best sounding in my opinion as much as I hate to admit it.

french, spanish, italian, portuguese, romanian, catalan.

No itelligent conversation has ever been carried out in Spanish. Learn French or Italian.

Lies. Especially the Italian part, are you fucking stupid?

OPfag herefag.
I'm leaning towards either Italian or French. I guess it's all on me now, but how I can choose !

Since you studied Latin, Spanish may actually be the easiest thing for you but...whatever. Go with whatever might actually be useful to you in the near future. If you're not planning on using a language you've study then what's the fucking point?

Spanish is useful if you live in the US and want to communicate with the Mexicans. For everyone else Spanish is useless since it's only spoken in developing countries and Spain (there is nothing cool in Spain). French and Italian are cultural languages, other than the benefits when going to those countries you can also read countless works of philosophy and classic literature in the original language. There's like one or two books in Spanish, tops.

That's also the conclusion i've come to. I guess the only thing to determine now is if French or Italian  is which would open up a deeper well of cultural resources, since obviously neither of those languages are the most pragmatically useful.
