Input on Learning New Language
+1 on French, depending on future goals. I believe it's still the second most taught language worldwide after English. I learned it while at Kandahar and found it helped with French, Canadians, and Africans (TCNs). An American friend who learned in Paris and then lived in Africa for years said you can successfully navigate almost all of Africa between English and French. Also found that nearly everywhere traveled in India and South America could find French speaking people often enough to be useful.
But I suppose that only helps with international travel. Not much French to be found CONUS unless you're far north.
Re: Input on Learning New Language
French holds 0 interest for me. Also, I learned that the platform I'm looking at, Duolingo, uses Spain Spanish, not Mexico Spanish.
I think German is the way I'm going to go. Plus I have a long term fantasy of doing sales in the US for Blaser. Thanks for the input all, it's been most helpful.
Any one used the duolingo platform?
