Why the english people dont learn other languages?Which languages u beleive its important for surviving in case that u want to travel a lot? (except english?
Spanish (for Central and South America), French (for much of Africa), Russian (all of the former republics of the Soviet Union in Europe and Asia), and Arabic (Middle East and North Africa) are four excellent ';travel languages';. Together, I wouldn't doubt if the areas these languages are spoken in covered more than half the earth.





As for why we don't learn other languages, IT'S HARD! Especially since our public school system almost never starts teaching other languages until high school (that's how it is in the United States, anyway). By that point, we are old enough that learning new languages is difficult. If we started learning earlier, I have no doubt that we would know many more langauges.Which languages u beleive its important for surviving in case that u want to travel a lot? (except english?
Latin, Arabic, Mandarin. They're the languages most other languages are compared to.
if you can speak english and spanish you are set!
Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese and Russian.


The answer to your second question, because most of us speak English as well so not everybody is bothered by learning an other language since assuming that most speak English.
Really depends on where you plan on traveling--to central/south America, you'd want Spanish. For Brazil/Portugal--Portuguese. May want to figure out where you're going to travel before deciding on the language.
spanish and french
In my opinion, Spanish or Latin and Mandarin. But I suppose it depends greatly on the circumstances, doesn't it?
One romance language, Spanish (because of their similarites you will somehow understand Portuguese Italian, French).





Next, Mandarin, particularly reading and writing Chinese. Chinese characters are used in the Japanese language and Korean language.
Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic
spanish and french
i know english and spanish (grew up with it), in school i learned latin which helped with all latin based languages (french, english, spanish, italian, etc.) i'm learning japanese but mostly because of the games. to survive in this world it would be best to study one latin based language (a romance language for example), mandarin chinese and/or japanese one should help with the other (at least in writting the language), and a middle eastern language (arabic, farci, etc). with these you should be well covered.
pig latin.
french and mandarin if you are traveling to the east.
if you know spanish then you can get around in the central, south, and italy. Italian and spanish have a lot of words alike, probably because most other languages formed from latin. I know an italian guy that can talk to mexicans for the most part, few of the words are different, but to survive, sure thing.
