hmr44 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 My new company who I work for are offering language classes before work or on your lunch. They do all of the above and I'd quite like to learn one! I'm really busy this year with lots of courses, new job etc but I think I can still fit it in as it is during work time, but which would you say was the easiest, most useful to learn?

seriessix Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Spanish - without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHsheff Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Depends what you want to do with it, and who you'd like to communicate with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetgirl Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 German is the easiest to learn logically but French or Spanish would be probably more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriessix Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 German seems a lot harder than Spanish or Italian - to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAIRBOY Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 French, Italian and Spanish are Romantic languages and if you learn one of them there is correlation with the others. Personally I prefer the Germanic languages of German, Dutch and Swedish but I guess the Romantics may be your better, more useful option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Have you any knowledge of any of them at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmr44 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Well I just want it as another string to my bow. I work for a legal firm, so they do want us to try and use it for our career. I have basic knowledge of them all really, I did german at school for a year (but cannot remember any of it), I did italian for 3 months and learnt basic grammar and things. And spanish and french, I only know the holiday type phrases but I think I'd use these more than german and italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people find Spanish the easiest to be honest, but if you have a smattering of German, then it might be as well to go along with that, unless you hated it! What sort of course is it? Is it going to be a proper course for a recognised qualification, or like a Linguaphone type thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I didn't really like german, but I have changed since being at school and I actually want to learn now! Think I might learn Spanish, because if the job gets boring, I can just jack it all in and move to Spain , I wont tell them that though! I still have to ask whether it is a recognised qualfication, as it was just a friend who mentioned it to me today! I hope it is though.
