Illustrated wrote I don't see the options, but I would say Russian. I am trying to learn Polish and I think they're probably similar. Its difficult, but challenging is good. Spanish seems really boring and useless. At least knowing Russian would be unique and give you an uncommon skill. If you learn Russian or any one Slavic language you can pretty much learn all the other Slavic languages if you put the slightest effort in. Learning Serbian and Czech are the more difficult ones, since they incorporate parts of Cyrillic and Latin in them. If you learn Russian/Polish/Czech, German actually becomes quite easier, which opens the doors for learning Scandinavian languages at an easier rate than say you were jumping into it from just knowing English. OP: If you learn Russian, prepare for people to circlejerk you around with memes they had seen on some cancerous YouTube video/image and wanting you to translate every little thing for them. I've also noticed that speaking Russian in America right now seems to be an "intimidation" factor for some reason - assuming bullshit politics - and ends up causing more problems than one. Not an issue for me since I'm a confrontational person to begin with, but if you're not someone who likes confrontations, I would argue speaking it only with friends and/or right time. Just randomly speaking it out in open turns more heads and is honestly annoying, especially since Russian is a more emotional language, meaning if you're angry and speaking, it's meant to sound like you're genuinely pissed off. |
