Chinese coz there's 300,000,000 of the fuckas already so no point learning something else for when as ^ said ... they take over the world!

Hindi. So I can eavesdrop on the in-laws. And that everyone will be Chinese-Indian by 2100.

Chinglish, so I could follow instructions and put stuff together.

Learn them all... do one and you'll be hungry for another in 20 minutes.

Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.

Mandarin first - it's by far the most widely spoken.
Then probably Thai - because I like Thailand.
Then maybe Indo - because it's close and cheap.

You only live once, but live right and once is enough

Japanese, because it seems like a cool place. Lots of big business and top drawer cars and bikes.
Then Thai - so you knew exactly what they were saying about you behind your back when your smashin em down on prices and what all the ladies were shouting out at you from the little go-go bars!
That one's pretty farkin' hard actually, I was lucky enough to grow up speaking it so when I speak it I can actually pronounce the words properly which throws them off when I'm there. For example there's five or more different words you can say using the letters "mai" and it's all in the way you say the word.
The sentence below, when said correctly, means "New wood doesn't burn does it?"
"Mai mai mai mai mai?"

Chinese - given their investments in our economy.
Some say he eats sidchrome for breakfast
Some say he only showers on even days of the week
Some say he put an R1 motor in a coffee machine
All we know is he's Hewie.

Chinese...
It will be beneficial, and quite likely profitable...
Chinese and all the Indian languages... that covers about 1/3 of the entire planets population.
The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

Indonesian, because I like the lecturer and I didn't have time to do it this year, so enrolling next year![]()

Arabic. So I could read the Qur'an and see what it really says.
