Need help selecting a 2nd language to learn.

[Mooks]

After many discussions with europeans calling me a average ignorant american, and my own personell thoughts of actually wanting too; I'v decided to learn a 2nd language. Only problem is that I cant decide which one. I live at east coast, USA. I plan to travel when I get out of high school, and possibly even move permanently out of the country (though that may be hopeful optimism).

The obvios choice is spanish, but I really really dont like the sound of the language. It sounds horrible. This probably comes from being yelled at by spanish/mexican/puerto ricans women during my childhood. It really is a traumatizing experiance for a young kid. Still dont know why it happened so much.

2nd/3rd choice is french or dutch. Iv heard dutch is pretty hard but I wouldnt mind moving there sometime in the future. Everything iv read about the country (well mostly everything) is great. Plus they wont throw me in jail for years just for practicing one of my favorite hobbies. French because it sounds sexy.

If its revelent I plan to be a computer networker (high school right now) and they tend to travel around alot. I really want to do this just to prove to myself that I have discipline and im not the average ignorant american.
