If you woke up tomorrow and found yourself only able to speak in a foreign language, which language would you prefer?

Spanish. It's musical and I love to listen to it.

Judy, 62
Easton

Spanish.

Tracy, 24
Ocean City

That afican language where they click. That's just cool!

Stephanie, 25
TX  USA

If I had the same command of this hypothetical foreign language that I do of English, the language itself wouldn't matter. The fluency of my companions would make a considerable difference.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg
, PA  USA

I guess Spanish - I think a lot more folks might understand what I'm trying to say, at least somewhat.

Fisch, 47
Preston
, CT USA

Well, that might depend on where I woke up, since it would be most useful to speak the local language. If I woke up in an English-speaking country, however, I'd probably pick Spanish, which is used in many areas of the world.

Jane, 62

Greek or Latin...that would totally reek of awesomeness...so I could better understand those ancient Greek and Roman writings...without having them translated...

Patrocles, 30

French so that I could help my daughter do better in that language. She has a French teacher that is Russian and and now all the kids speak French with a Russian accent.

KarenNJ, 25

Spanish.

Talia, 25

German, please. Jawohl!

Triana, 29
Austin

I'd have to go with German, but then I've been known to spend some time in Germany.

Ryan, 29
Morton
, IL   USA

French. I know a couple of people that speak French and would like to be able to visit there and speak the language.

Doug2, 29
Overland Park
, KS  USA

probably speak italian.

Brad, 21
Sydney  AUSTRALIA

Spanish -- it's the 2nd most common language besides English

Melodi, 19
Gahanna
, OH   USA

Spanish, I guess. At least there'd be someone around who would understand me.

Firelady, 24
Frisco
, TX   USA

German or French. Ha. I already speak those languages.

Laura, 37
Lowell

MA  USA

Gack! Spanish, I suppose, because hopefully Bill would at least have SOME idea of what I was talking about.

Karen, 22
Ames
, IA   USA

Cambodian. It would come in handy in Lowell.

Alias Irrelevante

Hmm... German or Korean, although I'd prefer to keep English. Even though I love German and I feel I should take Korean, I feel lucky to have English as my first language- it's one of the few languages that is spoken pretty much everywhere, in some form or another.

Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch
, CO  USA

I would love to know how to speak French fluently. My husband lived in France for awhile and is an expert in French. We have French novels around and CDs by his favorite French singer Mireille Mathieu.

Reba, 50+
Silver Spring
, MD  USA

Scots-Gaelic or celtic...

Nicci, 27
Las Vegas
, NV   USA

British. Cuz it's not that different from English! Actually, I don't know if British is another language so probably French. A dark romance language....

Em, 16
Harrisburg

German, because I like the way it sounds.

Tam

French, most definitely.

Felicia, 36
Lowell

French.

Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

British or German

Patty, 19
San Marcos, TX USA

German. It's the best language ever. Seriously, I think in German sometimes.
