In fact, I do not know whether you know or not, but in the year 2024, Arabic is among the top 5 languages ​​for work, tourism, culture, and history. I do not know where you came from with this list. It is certain that you calculated it in relation to the number of speakers. Whether you counted it this way or that, Arabic is the fifth place in terms of the number of speakers. Speakers before French and after Spanish. In terms of importance, Arabic is also one of the top five languages, so I don’t know why it is not on your list.

I am very grateful that English is my first language and that I speak Spanish as well, but I have found the most fulfillment from my journey learning the Indigenous language Quichua (Kichwa) because I find when you are making the effort to learn a less commonly taught language, that the connections you make with native speakers of that language are much deeper. And when I visit a multilingual place, I find that local people are much more appreciative when you make the effort to use phrases from the local language versus the colonizer language. So while more commonly spoken languages are certainly important for communicating with a larger number of people, I also strongly encourage people do not discount learning a less commonly taught language ❤ I think a lot of the Nelson Mandela quote: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”

[@Lauren_aida]

Edit: apparently that is a commonly misquoted version of the real Mandela quote: “Because when you speak a language, English, well many people understand you, including Afrikaners, but when you speak Afrikaans, you know you go straight to their hearts.”

[@AlexanderAyling]

Beautiful quote! Like I said choosing a language to learn is subjective and personal. The goal of this video was to share the top 5 most “useful” languages for business and travel. Cheers

I’m from Nova Scotia, Canada. I speak English, a little French, and I’m learning some Italian. I would love to be multilingual, or even bilingual, but that’s not an easy task. I’m so jealous of people who can speak multiple languages, it’s an amazing skill to have.

Hi. My name is Lenka. I'm from the Czech Republic and I can speak Czech, Slovak, English, Italian and a bit of Croatian. Next language on my list for the future is Greek.

[@genshin_archon-hydro]

I'm Spanish-Italian and I speak both languages since I'm very little. Then I learnt English in school, 'cause it's mandatory to learn in Spain since you are about 3-4 years old. After that, in High School I learnt French and German, and autonomously I learnt Brazilian Portuguese and Greek. Now I'm taking French and Mandarin lessons. I can speak now Spanish, Italian, English, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Greek and a little bit of Mandarin. I'm also very interested in learn other languages like Albanian, Farsi and Latvian, and I love how Farsi sounds so, maybe I'll include it.

[@mygeesearebumpin]

Man, I wish. I'm from the US and am only fluent in English. Where I lived, learning a second language wasn't offered until high school.

[@edgaraortiz]

My name’s Edgar, I’m a Puerto Rican American and I speak English and Spanish. Having grown up in the states, English is my native and dominant language, but I speak Spanish thanks to my parents who came from Puerto Rico and raised me in a Spanish speaking home and church. My passion is to learn the Finnish language. It’s always intrigued me to visit, learn about a culture that so different from mine, and to say that I mastered a language that I learned, not just one that I picked up from birth.

[@jonathonm.248]

I was lucky to grow up in English and in French and I've been working on Spanish for 7 years. I'd like to seriously dive into one final language, but I'm not taking the decision lightly. I've been deciding between German and Chinese for like a year now. I find I run into Germans everywhere I travel. They all speak English but it'd be fun to be able to connect with them in their language and participate in their German side conversations. Chinese, though, is just a massive language spoken in maybe every major city across the globe. In the near future, I will be travelling to more German-speaking places than Chinese-speaking places, but I'm hopeful China will become a more welcoming travel destination in my lifetime. Please weigh in with your opinions, or better yet, lived experiences!

*Austrian from Vienna here, I speak German, English, I learned french, but not as good as I would wish to have learned it, Serbocroatian, Macedonian (+Bulgarian) and with that a good chunk of Russian. You could say I had a lot of luck, my mother Austrian with roots in the Balkans and my father who was a soldier during 1991 Yugoslavia (not very good times for that region) and migrated to Vienna, through him I got the slavic languages and through my mother German. The Supirior Austrian school system ;) fixed the rest with Russian, french and Latin. I personally think, learning languages is a matter of what surrounds you, family wise and the proximity of other countries with their culture and their languages. Europe is a small continent with a concentrated power in languages, so I would advice any language learner, if you want to learn something, the first step should be the love and the prepardness for discipline and the readiness to meet other people, only then you should start the journey.*

Thank you, this has been very helpful. I speak a bit of German, and am learning French, Latin, and (again) Spanish. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and have rather a love /hate relationship with Spanish. I fell in love with German at about the age of five, while watching a captured German war film with my Dad. The film turned out to be "The Triumph of the Will" and you can probably guess the speaker. Right now, I'm considering Mandarin, but wonder whetber I'm too old. Shrug. (Pssst. Late 60s.) Your family background sounds similar to mine; Scots-Irish from my Dad's side, German-English from my Mom's. My mother's family escaped Kassel, Germany (they were Jews. This was during the Kaiser Wilhelm regime, 1870's) moved first to Illinois, later settled in Solomon, Kansas. Again, great video with great info! Thanks again.

And portuguese is the third or fourth most useful, for the similarities with spanish and franch, the presence of brazilians (and portugueses) in USA, Canada, Mexico, obviously Brazil, and other countries. And for the portuguese be one of the most used languages in internet.

I'm from Romania, I'm also fluent in Italian. I'm currently learning English and I would like to learn Spanish too. My goal is to learn at least 5 languages

[@dustsettles6099]

Native English, I speak Spanish and I am preparing for B2 exam. French is rusty, but used to speak well, same with Portuguese (Brazil). I'm struggling to decide on what is next, thinking Russian, improve French to B2+ level, or Irish as I'm moving there and I'm half Irish.

Hola, mi amigo. Mi nombre es William de Nueva York. I am a native English American speaker and who is proficient in Spanish. I am strongly considering the idea of learning Greek since I choose to learn once again Spanish. So, I am going to try and focus on two languages. The only thing is I never once learned a language which requires a completely different writing style. I noticed Greek isn't as widely used as it once was but there are so many things great about learning this language. There is about 30% of the English language which originated from the Greek language and so much more than 30% of the Spanish language which its roots originated which is Greek. Greek is an excellent language to learn due to its diversity in its connection to so many different aspects from medicine, math, philosophy and great literature and lastly Christianity. You should try Greek it sounds so much like Spanish and Greek shares so many similarities with other romance languages.

I'm from Egypt and I speak Arabic and English and I speak Spanish and Deutsch a little but I know that learning two languages at the same time is very difficult but I don't know what I should learn Spanish or Deutsch.

I wanted to ask, I know its not the best place to visit, I am from El Salvador and I wanted to know if you ever thought of visiting there? Also have you tried pupusas?

[@AlexanderAyling]

I want to go to El Salvador soooo bad. There are so many good waves there. I’ve had pupusas in LA. Son ricos!

@@AlexanderAyling i find it funny that u want to go soo bad but my mom never wants to go back. She refuses to go back and tells me all the time that it is too dangerous to go as an American. I left when I was 3 and have never been back for about 3 decades. It is what it is I guess 🤷

[@RickyBalmer]

Learning any of the romance family languages is a must in my humble opinion. Next would be learning one of the languages of hindustani region. Hindu, Urdu, Penjabi etc.. all pretty close languages.

[@kurama_yoko]

Hii! I am from India so yes I am a multilingual person who can speak Hindi very well, Gujarati (which is my mother tongue) and also Marathi.

German is not the lingua franca of Eastern Europe. In Poland trying to use it in this role may end up unpleasantly.

[@ExVeritateLibertas]

Not nearly as unpleasantly as trying to use Russian.

[@delfinangel96]

as in the rest of the world , the lingua franca in Eastern Europe is English

Yevhenii from Ukraine So, my mother tongue is Ukrainian I can also fluent speak Russian And I learn English because of my profession in IT, I am a developer and I should communicate with customers or colleagues

I want to learn Spanish ❤.. thanks for the video.

[@AlexanderAyling]

You can do it!

[@gmicg]

The Chinese language has three main problems to replace English as the universal language: 1 its limited geographic distribution, 2 its tonal nature, 3 its ideographic writing system.

[@BeduKuwaiti]

Thank you for your videos, but one correction Spanish is spoken in Asia (Philippines), Europe, Africa (Equatorial Guinea), North American and South America, so 5 Continents :). I Speak Arabic, English, Spanish, Kurdish, Persian, Italian, Urdu, Catalan, Chavacano, Catalan, a little French and . I know, I know, I am showing off :)

[@delfinangel96]

Spanish is almost extinct in Philippines

[@Barbarita1150]

My native language is spanish, I' ve studied english and french, but I didn't practice.😢 I'd like to practice both languages.

Of course I can: French, Spanish (Castillian, Catalan, Gallego), Portuguese, Italian, Romanian

[@MiriamWaldbaum]

Hi Alex! I was born in Argentina so I speak Spanish. I live in Israel so I speak Hebrew and I'm very good at reading and writing English but at speaking I can use some practice to speak. I will like to learn Italian and German, which is kind of similar to Idish(Jewish dialect) so I think it will not be so hard.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Hole Miria! Que chevre! Yiddish was the Jewish language spoken in Europe if I'm not mistaken. I'd love to visit Jerusalem one day!

[@MiriamWaldbaum]

@@AlexanderAyling I would love too. Although I live in Eilat, near Egypt😊

[@CactusNyaNya]

from my personal experience, to be realistic, if you want more wealth or more personal development, English, French and Japanese are best choices. For other languages, their native speaker almost have no choice but use above mentioned three for international cases.

[@rajeshkumarsanghai]

I am from Kolkata India . I know Bengali , English , Hindi . Learning French . My wish to learn Marathi Gujrati Kannad . ( I can read sanskrit ) . Wish also to learn Spanish which my nephew knows . Amazing that Russian is excluded from your list !

[@zacharyzdravkovic]

So I already speak English, Serbian, and Macedonian but after spending 6 months studying abroad in France want to learn French too, but after all the languages you mentioned its hard to pick just one because I want to learn Spanish, German, and Arabic too!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Which of them are you most likely to use right away and for the longest time moving forward. That’s how I would approach it. Find your #1 and focus on that.

[@АлексейЛеонидов-б9в]

This language list looks good and logical for American English native speakers except Hindi. English is common in India in now days especially in business communication. For this reason Hindi won't give some special add opportunities if person doesn't have special deep relationship with India.

You can learn Esperanto in a reasonable amount of time unlike other languages and it is much more useful than many people assume.

[@AlexanderAyling]

There’s a phrase - “Nobody makes love in Esperanto”

[@Kanguruo]

@@AlexanderAyling which is not a true phrase, as many people make love in Esperanto and then they have children who are native speakers of Esperanto. There is a nice video about native Esperanto speakers on KZbin, try to look for it. It is called Esperanto: Like a Native It is in Esperanto, but it has English subtitles.

[@elhamth314]

My language is persian (Farsi), it is a sweet and good language, unfortunately, there are not many Farsi subtitles on KZbin, like this video, I have to return English subtitles to my native language.
