<p>Why would anyone want to learn Vietnamese?.. unless you’re moving there or you want to speak to your Vietnamese family who don’t speak English.</p>
<p>In my opinion, Vietnamese isn’t very useful.</p>
<p>An example of Old English is Beowulf; Middle English, Everyman; Modern English includes everything from Shakespeare to Crichton.
Vietnamese only is important if you live in the southern half of Los Angeles or live in the country itself. However, some people like learning languages not for their usefulness, but jut for the sake of learning the language. I wanted to learn Bengali, even though it is spoken by a large amount of people concentrated in three areas: the south side of London, Bangladesh, and West Bengal in India.</p>
<p>"What does that have to do with Old English?</p>
<p>MacBeth =/= Old English"</p>
<p>how is macbeth not old english?</p>
<p>i just thought id pop my two cents in.
i live in new york (see username) so i bump into french people virtually every day. and since im into art french plays into that though i admit that if i ever get lost in the bronx spanish would probably work out better, but i could just spill some chinese. word :).</p>
<p>Macbeth-a Shakesperean play from the early 1600s, is considered Early Modern English. Old English is anything spoken before 1066, the date of the Norman Conquest, which changed the linguistic structure by adding French to the Old English into what is now called Middle English, which lasted until about 1500.</p>
<p>spanish is pretty easy

german… well i have no german in me at all except i can say "blitzkrieg "</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>how are they taking your order if they can’t speak english?</p>
<p>anyway. I have a question about French. I want to major or minor in French in college (because i love the language and want to be fluent) but my dad won’t let me because he says it won’t help me get a job. Can anyone think of a convincing reason why French is useful in the real world?</p>
<p>I meant that Spanish was their first language. I consider it their only language since they can barely speak English. I can’t undrestand what they’re saying.</p>
<p>That subject was old. Drop it.</p>
<p>French and English are the only global languages in the world and is spoken in several countries, including in its former colonies. French is also spoken in many government organizations such as the UN and NATO and France is one of the leading nations in technological advancements so yeah, I think it would be quite useful. </p>
<p>And I don’t think it’s very hard to learn either. Easier than German.</p>
<p>Yup. It’s not hard to learn at all. Once you pronounce it right.</p>
