I still think kids would get more bang for their buck with Mandarin or Spanish.

My granddaughter's school offers language classes in French, Japanese, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.

She asked me which one should she enroll in for next year?

I told her Spanish would benefit her the most living in the US.

French or Japanese if she likes the culture and hoped to visit one day.

Or take Chinese if she decided to pursue a career in international business. ......

It seems the Korean language is becoming more and more popular around the world as a foreign language to study. This is interesting and welcome, as for a long time reliable and quality learning materials for Korean have been harder to find than those for many other languages.

How do you say "hello" and how do you pronounce it?

Yaboseyo. YAH-boh-SEY-oh. A common hello.

That's for hello on the phone.

Nah, is also used on the street. The girl at the local restaurant yells it at me whenever I walk in.

I don't know a single word of Korean.
But Korean food is by far my favorite asian cuisine. .....

It is pretty great, but #2 on my list.

So which asian food is #1 on your personal list? ......

Portuguese?

Would be very practical. Brazil has a large population and is an up and coming economic power--or could be if it can get its corruption problem under control. And you can use it in the small mother country as well.

How about Arabic?
