    Personally, I'd recommend Spanish.. It's one of the most spoken languages.. Similarly, Chinese would be a good one to have as China's importance in the world is dramatically increasing..

    Websites to learn.. I found that www.byki.com is an amazing site.. it's helped me loads with German, Hebrew, etc.. You can either download it, and save progress on your computer.. or.. you can use the online version.. best of all.. it's free :D

    What do you desire to be trained a moment language for? Do you desire to upgrade your profession possibilities - where case be trained a complicated language that has truly employment knowledge in case you grasp it - Chinese, Japanese or Arabic for instance. Or is it quite for enjoyment and and a undertaking - where case French or Spanish. Or why no longer feel approximately a lovely language which if you'll be able to be trained to talk it good will open up one real beautiful nation to you: Italian. Similarly German, even though no longer precisely lovely, will generally increase your leisure of Germany, Austria, Switzerland. Remember for an English speaker the languages which use the identical alphabet are MUCH less difficult. And bear in mind once more that there is not a lot factor in finding out a minority language just like the Scandinavian languages or Dutch,

    Latin is the most useful, Spanish maybe the most vocational, and French maybe the most international. Just google your choice and some choices will pop up. When learning a language it's best to have English Grammar down really well first.

    do you want to HEAR a second language, or LEARN one? Listening to spoken websites will definitely not help you learn the language. Sorry find something else to reduce your boredom. How about asking your boss for more stimulating work?

    Not really, Except from google translate. There is now a listen button.

    Also, you can buy some cd's that give you lessons, but those aren't very good. My best bet would be google translate actually...

    The is one for Spanish. It is called Speek.dees.way.net. It is really not a bad site, but it can be very irritating to constantly have to select "2" for Spanish.
