Underrated and overrated languages

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-26 12:00

Arabic, Hindi and Bengali are some of the most spoken languages on the planet, yet very underrated when it comes to language learning. It's pretty difficult to find a decent textbook in these languages.

Japanese, French and German on the other hand, if you look at them on a global scale, are overrated languages. It's actually amazing how much material there is for learning Japanese.

Are you a learner of an underrated language? Or do you feel that the language you are learning is overrated?

>the french and german bastards are to damn cocky to even try and learn another
The French, yes very much so. However, the Germans are very open to learning English, and in fact quite a few of their words are taken directly from English, mostly technology-based words such as Computer, Software, CD, etc. They just change the pronunciation. Considering that German and English are a lot alike, it doesn't surprise me in the least.
