If I could only learn one additional language, and I wanted to travel the world, what language would serve me best other than English or Spanish?

    If you’re fluent in Spanish you can probably bullshit your way through comprehending most romantic languages so French and Portuguese (the other big colonial languages) are probably out.

    Maybe Arabic for the fact that while it isn’t a dominant language in most countries there are fluent communities in all sorts of parts of the world.

    Alternatively, Hindi/Mandarin for the sheer number of people it’d let you communicate with.
