I'm currently taking Spanish, simply because it was the only language that fit my schedule at the time.

Yo decidí estudiar el idioma que la mayor de personas llaman "español." En la escuela secundaria, yo tuve que estudiar uno idioma, y español fue el más fácil.

German.
Because I took French for a few years and couldn't see myself wanting to learn that.
Took Spanish for 6 years, hated it and learned nothing.
So, it was either German or Latin, and I'd already been to Germany once. So, German it was!

I'm studying french again. After three years break or so. Previous 3 semestres were devoted to Russian. And then 4 years of hs went to German, and one semestre to latin but that didn't work out so well because the teacher was incompetant and got fired for not doing their job..

Arabic and French. The latter because it was offered, and it's a cool language, the former for reasons I can't explain right now.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Latin, because now I can:

a) insult people without them knowing what I'm saying
b) say anything without them correcting my atrocious Latin.

Been learning Spanish for 3 years, because it's the 3rd most widely spoken language, and both my mother and sister know a bit.

I'm starting to learn German now, because I feel strangely drawn to it.
