Which language would you learn?

[mrs.b]

Spanish, for the very reasons sanantone described; it's not always a mentioned job preference or requirement around here, but talking to other HR peeps, there's usually a slight pay bump for individuals who are bilingual in Spanish. It's one of the courses my kiddo requested for next year's homeschool curriculum, so his daddy and I are going to learn alongside him and we'll speak as we learn. Found a nice, kiddo-friendly curriculum for it.

My second choice is a tie between Italian or Portugese. I love the cultures of the countries and would love to travel to each sometime to see historical sites, and I'm against the idea of being an "arrogant American" that ventures into a foreign country without knowing at least the basics of the native language.
