I Serve Larry's Stick
I'm going to be changing my major to foreign language and I wanted some worldly perspective on how I should go about it. My thoughts are to major in Spanish and then most likely take German, Italian, and Russian, since these have generally been the most in the forefront of my mind. Here are the languages my university offers and I've grouped them together so that the ones that have the most depth of courses are listed first and the least are at the bottom. I'm really looking for opinions on which languages would be most wanted/beneficial to me and my long term plan would be to travel or at least move out of the country, most likely to Europe some place after I get my degree, or something darn close to it.
Grouped by depth of coursework:
These four seem to offer the most in depth coursework and language study:
French
German
Spanish
Japanese
Next would be:
Chinese
Russian
Latin
Then:
Arabic
Italian
And lastly:
Ancient Greek
Bahasa Malaysian
I think mastering or at least becoming reasonably proficient in 2 languages over the next 4-5 years is my true goal and reasonable given my time for school. Let me know how you'd do it if you were me and think of it from the perspective that I would like to eventually move overseas. Thanks for your help everyone!
