Languages !!?????????(10 POINTS)?

I want to learn a new language. I already speak Spanish so don't recommend it.(: Something easy that I will probably pick up on easy. I was thinking polish or German, since my dad speaks Polish and I know some of my family speaks it. But, German so far has been easy for me, though I only know a few words. Even though I'm Italian, I tried to learn but it is too hard for me to remember for some odd reason :| Also, 90% of people who are my neighbors/classmates speak Arabic/Chaldean. I know a little bit of that language, but should i go more in depth with it? And one LAST thing, what is the most beautiful language to Learn? Thanks in advance(:

    Something you can hear all the time. I'd go with Arabic - it's a common language (tho the dialects are tricky), it's a challenge, but some of the most beautiful poetry is written in Arabic. Plus, you'll know a language that is spoken by a good percentage of the world's population... Even if you learn a more formal version (say, like spoken in KSA) you'll still understand someone speaking it from Indonesia. Plus, you have so many around you that speak it, you'll het to use it conversationally daily, which is what gives you fluency in the language.

    10. German nine. Japanese eight. Russian 7. Bengali 6. Portuguese five. Arabic four. English three. Spanish two. Hindi one million. Mandarin Chinese I talk Spanish (that is my first language) and English. But I got here to the United States whilst I used to be three so I talk extra English now than I do Spanish. But nonetheless very fluent in each languages. I might love to study the way to talk Portuguese and Japanese.

    Why don't you get another romance language as Portuguese? Spoken in one of the oldest country in Europe (Portugal, built in 1000 AC), South America (Brazil), Oceania (East-Timor), Asia (Some influence in Sri Lanka, Macau in China and Goa in India) and Africa (Mozambique, Angola and a lot of other countries).

    It sounds like a mix of Spanish, Italian and French.

    As you already speak Italian, it would be a breeze.

    You can go with Arabic as you say there are native speakers around you. They can help you to improve your language skills. I didn't understand your view of point on German. It's been easy for you, and you find it too hard to remember? How is it possible? There are soooo many languages, but what do you exactly want? For your career, for fun, for communicating with other people...? French, Russian, Turkish, Mandarin and Greek would be my advices.

    French should be very easy since you already speak Spanish. It would be useful since it's spoken by millions of people in the world, and because several notorious books, poems and songs are written in French.

    Arabic should definitely be useful, but it can be very hard and you have to know that there are several arabic dialects.

    German could be a little useful and you already know a few words, so it could be a good idea to further your knowledge of that language.

    Polish could be only a little useful.

    ____________________________________

    French would be my first choice and arabic would be my second.

    Deutsch ist nicht schwer zu lernen. Viele wurten sind sehr gleich als English. Die gramatik is ein bissen schwer, aber Deutch war nicht fur mich schwer.
