Im pretty sure most people know how to fart already :^)
Meme answers: Hindi, Swahili, Mandarin
Real answer: English is the dominant lingua franca by a wide margin so no on language will be beneficial to learn, it depends on what you want to use it for

yatateeeepoopooo eyyyyy poopoopeepee poopita *farts* *poops*
Arabic is the future
Spanish is the second most spoken language around the world (After Chinese)

Learning Chinese is pointless, Chinaman are FORCED to learn a second language (generally english) to even sell shit, why waste money and time learning it while they mass produce perfect engrish machines
Mandarin and then Spanish. Depends where you live and what you plan to do. Spanish is really fuck easy to learn as well

I think he was talking about spanish...
There are no languages that "everyone" should know, English excepted. What languages are useful in everyday and business life depend, to a great extent, on where exactly you live. Spanish isn't going to be of much use to a man living in South Korea, just as Mandarin won't likely help the founder of a Brazilian startup.
With respect to different locales, I'd say that the most important languages for persons in various parts of the globe to learn are:
>English
>Spanish
>German
>Arabic
>Mandarin
>Russian
Definitely Spanish
Well, to be honest, i don't think thare's a reason to learn another language other that english. Yes, spanish and mandarin are more spoken, but China and Hispanoamerica are learning english. Why learn another language?
>>57760167
Also, pretty much all the countries on the world are learning English. English is the world language.

EXCEPT THOSE FUCKEN ARABS AND RUSSIANS AM I RIGHT
>>57759286
Esperanto.
>>57760287

>>57759525
I have never even heard of Ecuador before.
>>57759361
Yup, pretty much hit the nail on the head.
It's worth learning simple sentences and greetings or requests in both.
>>57759286
Chinese.

Since you know English already there isn't really a NEED to learn another one.
That being said, learn a language form a culture you like/admire. You can't begin to understand a culture without the language.
What culture do YOU like?
German culture, Spanish/latin american culture, Italian culture?
Personally, since I think I have a decent enough English, I want to learn Russian because I like Russia and it's culture. And maybe it might not be a "useful" language, but I'll content myself with understanding the music and literature. Perhaps if I get money, I might visit once or twice.
>>57759967
pretty much everyone here learns a bit of spanish as a third language
>>57760106

This.

>>57759286
You already talks american. Leearn maths or ecomonics instead. Develope code is noice too.
Java
C++
Pick one whose culture interests you, you'll be much more motivated to learn.
>all those americans saying 'spanish' because all they have for neighbours are an English-speaking country and a Spanish-speaking country and they don't know any better than speaking for their own personal experience

Shit cities, killing and robbing but cool nature, landscape and all those things.
Decent women, everything cost less. Basically just another South America country.
>>57759361
Agreed.
I learned Portuguese. Has more speakers than French (around 270mil). You understand Spanish, too. Bonus: Brazilian Girls.

Spanish is literally Dutch tier in Europe.
>>57771350
In Europe only English, German and French matter, followed by Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic. And then Portuguese probably.
>>57771129
It's basically a French dialect mate
>>57763451
most spoken language by native speaker in europe aka the only continent that really matters.

Don't go by numbers, go by use. Everyone will tell you mandarin but what are you even going to do with that? Do you have any skills that you can use to do business in China or with Chinese people? Probably not. If you actually needed to know Mandarin you wouldn't have to ask about it.
Don't go by numbers, go by what you're actually going to use and what is actually relevant to yourself. That can be Mandarin even, or something else like Spanish, or "dying" Japanese if you're a filthy weeb, a prominent Euro language if you like literature and Euro culture or are a heritage fag, or it could a Tolkien language or Hieratic Middle Egyptian or whatever you feel like.
Numbers is a bad argument because those numbers are way past the point of relevance. You're never going to talk to 5 million Swedes, when are you going to talk to 300 spanish speakers? You might say Swedes largely speak English, which is true, and this is the kind of questions you should be asking.
>how close is the language to my language
>do the people who speak that language speak english
>do they translate much of what they have into english
>do I care about what isn't translated to want to see it in the original
>>57759286
Japanese
>>57759286
Personally, I`d like to take German or French language classes.
These languages are more widespread in the world after English.
