So I guess it is all a matter of what you wish to project.


Spanish will land you a hot, loud and fun Latina who'll turn into a hardworking, caring mother for your children. French will land you a gorgeous trust fund blonde who studied art history and follows wine appreciation courses. It is all a matter of preference.
I dunno, dude, I think many Americans are adverse to learning a foriegn language unless the desire to do so was instilled at a very early age. College was too late for me. My brain isn't built for it. Or maybe its just my southern upbringing. Until the turn of the century I don't think most parents/children appreciated the fact that being bilingual would -- at the least -- help in job prospects.

So I copped out and learned a dead indian language because it was easy (the entire OU football team was in my class)

I wish they offered sign language then like they do now, I would have been all over that.
