Do all three Plax - I think I might try Spanish primarily, but every language has its jour...To speak Spanish means you'll never visit Madrid and go into bars a loner.

The languages that interest me, especially from a commerce/travelling point of view are;
German
French
Spanish
I did German & French at school much of which has long been forgotten. Spanish I have never learnt.
I plan on getting the relevant learning resources from the local library and taking it from there.
I thought I'd do a poll.

Spanish belongs to the Romance group of languages, which in turn is part of the Indo-European family, of which Germanic is also a member.
But it is wrong to say that Spanish is a Germanic language.
