First of all, I want to compliment you on your English fluency. You write better than most people for whom English is their mother tongue.

Your question asked specifically about which "is the most useful language in the world". You didn't ask what what languages Americans should learn in addition to English. Nor did you ask what language is the second most useful in the world. The direct answer to your stated question is, undoubtedly, English.

All international pilots must speak English fluently. Nearly all international scientific symposiums are conducted in English. Most international business transactions are conducted in English. It is the most widely spoken language in the world being solidly established on all seven continents. Swedish, for instance, is not normally taught in African schools but English is usually a required subject.

Now, if you are asking about another language to learn in addition to Chinese and English, the answer depends upon which source you use. The Summer Institute for Linguistics (SIL) Ethnologue Survey (1999) lists Spanish as having the second highest number of native speakers (after Chinese) at about 332,000,000. In terms of gross numbers and not taking into account population concentrations, so long as you speak Chinese, English, and Spanish you are able to communicate with approximately 1.6 billion people, or about 23% of the world's population. That's not bad! :D

Personally, I speak English, Spanish, and am functional in German. French completely eludes me. I guess there just isn't enough French spoken here in Texas for me to get a grasp on it. That being said, I have travelled extensively throughout the Western hemisphere without difficulty.

I admire your desire to better yourself. I wish that more Americans would show the drive and desire that you obviously have.

Spanish is the second mostly used language in the world.
I'm very interested in Chinese history and its historical culture and heritage. I like the welcoming and sweet nature of the Chinese people.
I would like to visit China one day. Good luck with your graduation from High School........................

Well in America you should speak Spanish, English And i think those are the most important languages. But in the world I have no idea, but you should still know many languages

i'd say Latin, spawning from the notion that it's the etymological basis of the majority of linguistic capabilities available.

in cinematic depictions (movies) regarding chinese, the primary perception is that all chinese people look alike.

Mandarin Chinese Japanese French Russian Arabic Italian Spanish (grasp it) Portuguese there one of the crucial such a lot usual languages on the earth, on the grounds that you recognize 2 of the colossal ones fluently, you will have to train in your spanish slightly extra. is dependent upon had been you are living, in canada English, and French will support you plenty. within the United States English and Spanish will support plenty. in Europe. English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish. are to call a couple of. there's no such factor as vain language, simply languages that you'll use extra most of the time or are larger suitable on your activity or discipline.
