learn to speak afrikaan. It's useful.
For me I currently take Spanish and I hate every minute of taking that class. I really really really want to take German but my parents keep saying that spanish is more useful. I personally think that eventually US will become a spanish speaking country (much like quebec) by the latin american immigrants, so it is useful to learn it if I plan to live in the US. But I don't CARE! I want to speak German!!!!
