Whats the most popular 2nd language??
Hi friends,
Ive decided to take the plunge and use this non recruiting time to go and learn another language. I speak English, and have very basic Indonesian speaking ability. Can someone advise me on what is the best language to learn?
I want to get into Emirates, Qantas, Lauda Air, Cathey Pacific...or anyone else that will have me.
Am I wise to learn Japanese? Or a European language? Im in Sydney, so if anyone can recommend a course or certain TAFE to enroll in I'd be greatful.
Thanks x

Hi,
The advice from Biscuit Chucker sounds very sensible.
One of the most wide spread languages is Spanish and is, I gather relatively easier than some others. It is also similar to Portugese and has somethings in common with Italian (I am told by a friend of mine who speaks them all!!)
Unfortunately, my second language is minority and shinking - Afrikaans!

Cloud nine, excellent thinking on the use of your time!
Advice by BC and Paxboy good. Spanish is a very useful language in our business; large parts of the world population speak it exclusively. And the Latin Americans are always very appreciative when you speak their lingo, so it's a lot of fun on board. Also their literature is fascinating, and apart from the dreadful 3
past tenses they have, it's really not all that hard to learn compared to Japanese for example 
And like BC says, speaking more than one language is GREAT fun, both on and off the ac!!
Good luck with your studies mate.
PS: Hey PaxBoy, always enjoy the Afrikaans when visiting your breathtakingly beautiful country. Words like Heisbakkie always good for a chuckle from us Cloggies.
