So I'm about to start uni, bachelor in international bussiness, and we have to take a mandatory third language course in order to graduate (spanish is my native language, english the 2nd)
The thing is, I don't know which language to pick. Could you help me?
Japanese: I've always wanted to learn this one since, yeah your guessed it right, I am a weaboo lol. Since I was a teenager I've always enjoyed japanese media, I even atemped to self teach myself the language (but stopped because my lack of discipline) and it's been a dream of mine to go to Japan since. I also love their culture and mindset. And I guess it would be easy to pronounce for me as spanish is my native language.
French: I love the way it sounds, the culture and history (I'd love to read the great french authors in the original language) It is also my long life dream to visit Europe and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) french would be useful in a ton of european countries. I also left a classical music major unfinished and I think french would be useful to help me reconnect with that part of me. Also, I think it would be useful if I ever go to Canada.
Chinese: tbh, the main reasons are the job opportunities and that it is a growing economy. But I don't feel as drawn to this language particularly. I don't dislike the culture, in fact I think is a beautiful one with a very interesting mindset and literature I probably would enjoy reading. But working in China is not that appealing to me due to pollution (for vacations yes, I'd love to visit China)
TL;DR: I would love to learn japanese or french but I'm afraid the job opportunities would be scarce due to their economies stagnating and population decrease, whereas China and chinese language are growing at a rapid speed but I'm not to drawn to said language. Help me decide please. Also my plan is to learn those 3 languages anyway, but I need help deciding which one should I pick to learn first, as the 3rd mandatory language of my career.
