Maybe Falko could teach GP Spanish and GP could teach Falko English?

Spanish or Arabic. Arabic for the 6 figure overseas contractor jobs, Spanish so you don't have to press a button when calling a automated line from a english speaking country.

But then again, I enjoy German culture and whatnot, and would love to live there, so I have my personal reasons for taking it as a foriegn language. However, I am also required to take 2 credits of a language for college, and will be taking Spanish. I live in Texas for now, so it seems the most useful, if you know what I mean.
Plus German just sounds cool.

6 figure overseas contractor jobs involving Arabic usually means that you'll be on the front lines asking people questions and getting shot at.

Hehe, I already do learn it, tyvm

I presume you're Chinese then??
But to the OP: I'm chinese, and I still find it a bitch to learn...it's well worth the reward, but if you've already started off with English, probably head for a Romanic language unless you're ready to throw a ton of work into learning to speak it with any fluency.
