English, for obvious reasons, but if its any other language then Japanese because I find it quite fascinating and I think the people of Japan would be very interesting to talk to. Japan would also be a nice place to live and travel so it would be handy knowing the language, plus there is never a lack of English teaching jobs in Japan.

Let's assume it's any other language, thanks for that. Japanese would be good, another interesting one.

Other than French + English it would be Spanish or a difficult one to learn like russian or chinese.

french 100%. do it for A-Level and i'm getting there (i can understand written text) but speaking and improvement in listening only happens with experience.
erm apart from that I think maybe Spanish. Chinese would be good cause i think it would be stupidly hard to learn as a westerner.

Japanese, just because it looks so complicated, and they don't even use words; just symbols and pictures, would be really cool to understand it.
oh god would have to be something supremely cool. maybe Swahili.

Mandarin or Cantonese - can't remember which but I believe one of the Chinese languages is expected to be as widely used as English in the future so it would be a handy tool to posses. If this was an actual real question so you could acquire the dialect of any language in the world, most of the European ones (French, Spanish, Italian etc) would be a waste because all you have to do is move there for a while and you'll pick any of them up after a few weeks.
I'd go for Mandarin Chinese, too. Most current and, as said above, is one of the most widely used.

French because then I would get a good GCSE next year ;) + French has things similar to other countries which means it would be easier to learn Spanish or something.

Unsure to be honest, I've always quite liked Arabic, it's very widely spoken in the Middle East and North Africa. I think if you were fluent in English & French though that'd be enough to communicate with most people in the world, most speak English or French as a second language. I'd be tempted by Mandarin but many Chinese speak good English from what I hear.

They may be 'symbols' and 'pictures' to you, but the Japanese do indeed use words. How do you suppose they communicate otherwise? :S I assume you meant they don't use letters from the English alphabet to make up their words?

Russian for me for sure. I think I might start on the side anyway and see how I get on, lol. I am confident I can do anything if my put effort into it.

I want to say something like Aramaic or ancient Hebrew because I find religion absolutely fascinating and would love to be able to translate it for myself rather than rely on English Biblical publications, but in all honesty it'd probably be Latin or French just to impress the lay-deez
