[quote=Anonymous]All have pros and cons. Spanish is useful here in the US and in this hemisphere, also Spain, and provides a good foundation for learning other romance languages. French does have a wide global reach to a greater diversity of countries in the Caribbean, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Mandarin is hot and in demand but only because not many people speak it yet. The thing about Mandarin is it basically limits you to working in or on China, which doesn't offer the variety, in my opinion, of work and travel opportunities available via the other languages. To really make immersion worthwhile you need to keep it up, continue to study the language, and use it regularly, which also might be easier with Spanish or French, both in terms of finding higher education options and local people to practice with.[/quote]
