Latin - because the Romans were l33t.

Taking Chinese right now. I love it.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

You're right to expect that, KT. Uni is much more mature than high school. Drive your own learning and you'll go far. :yes:

take Chinese because China is going to be the next superpower after the US. Why? they have tough education over there unlike here where any beer  guzzling pothead can graduate.

I like Russian because it sounds the coolest when speaking it... I plan to learn that some time in my future, as soon as I get the rest of Spanish out of my way...

Chinese = the most useful language out of all of those if you want to go into the government. Here, I'll quote from an NSA recruitment brochure that I have.

We are particularly interested in those individuals who are proficient in Asian and Middle Eastern languages, including the less-commonly taught languages.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

If you take German, you could move to Germany, go to raves and pick up ridiculously hot girls. Oh and, raise and army to conquer the world.
:wtf:

Times have changed. You raise an army to conquer rave party locations and liberate the girls... :ick:

P.S.: I'd go for japanese. A friend of mine did it and works there since September. Very odd and very entertaining society over there, really interesting from a purely cultural point of view.
