Besides English, which foreign language is more useful?

Learning a foreign language takes a long time, and you have to find the passion that can keep you interested.

1 If you choose your career and income as your passion for learning a foreign language, you should learn influential languages such as French and Spanish (supplementary: Japanese and Korean, of course), but the competition in this field is also very fierce. Difficult languages, such as Arabic, cannot quickly become productive forces, and the job market of unpopular small languages is too uncertain.

If you just like a language, its vocabulary and the culture behind it. Then choose whatever you want, relax your study, and let this foreign language add luster to your life's career, instead of relying on it to support your family.

If you are confident to become a member of the teaching and research circle of a foreign language, you should work hard without hesitation. There will be more opportunities in some unpopular foreign language fields with a serious shortage of teachers.

Brief introduction of several major languages:

1. Japanese: the most important language in Asia. There are more Japanese and Korean companies in mainland China, second only to British and American companies, and even more than British and American companies in some areas. This means that learning Japanese and Korean (low salary) is fierce, but there is a broad employment space.

Second, Korean: Some people conclude that the disadvantage of learning Korean is that they can't compete with Koreans because Korean/Korean is their mother tongue.

3. French is one of the most popular languages in Europe and even in the world, and its importance is second only to English. Its pronunciation is softer, and it is also called the language of art with Italian. People whose work involves film, music, oil painting, architecture, literature, hotels, food and other fields can give priority to French and Italian.

Fourth, German: the language of Europe, the language of science, technology and philosophy, is famous for its preciseness and accuracy. Although the English level of Germans is mostly good (the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Norway are all the same), German is still an important language, and the number of native speakers of German exceeds that of Britain, France, Italy and Spain.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Italian: See article 3. Personally, I prefer Italian accent, which is a little different from Spanish accent.

6. Spanish: There are more than 400 million people, but most of them are in Latin America (except Brazil). Even Spain itself is not a strong country in Europe. There are almost no western or Latin American companies in the mainland. Although there are some Spanish speakers in the southern United States, many of them are illegal immigrants or live at the bottom of society. The grammar of Spanish is very similar to that of Italian and French, belonging to the Romanesque family of Indo-European languages. Its pronunciation is close to Italian and its spelling is close to Portuguese (the pronunciation is quite different).

Russian: It was the most popular foreign language in China in 1950s. I don't like the former Soviet Union. Now Russia is a grizzly bear with broken teeth and claws, lacking in other aspects except energy and weapons. Russian has six cases, two more than German's four cases, and its grammar is more complicated than German's.

8. Arabic: Without the support of faith, learning Arabic well will be a mental torture, which is equivalent to learning two similar languages. One is written language MSA (modern standard Arabic), which is not used in daily spoken language; The other is the spoken dialect of a country or region (depending on where you have been), such as Gulf Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Iraqi Arabic and so on.

Nine, Portuguese: Brazilian Portuguese is popular now, but Portuguese standard Portuguese is not popular. Although Brazil is one of the BRICS countries, it seems that it will not achieve remarkable results in the short term, and various social problems such as the disparity between the rich and the poor and the deterioration of public security are also worthy of attention.
