Since you want to go somewhere different Finland would be an excellent choice, chances are pretty big nobody you know has travelled here. :p
Unfortunately this is a rather expensive country, so you will get a nasty surprise if planning with Central European price levels. The language is also pretty much useless outside our borders (with an exception for Estonia, where you have some chances to get along even better than with English), so you might as well don't bother since most people (excluding some of the elderly) understand more English than you can reasonably hope to quickly learn Finnish (the language is quite easy and spoken almost the same as it is written, but very different from Indo-European languages, so e.g. German ought to be less of a challenge).

If you actually are interested to travel to this sunny spot (not literally, Finland is the sixth largest country in Europe and not particularly sunny, especially in the winter) between Scandinavia and Russia, I'll be glad to help.

Spanish is, after all, still the most spoken language in the world...
And it's easy to learn... And it's cool...
Spanish rocks.

No. Believe me, you don't want to learn that kind of language if you want to be among normal people.

Eh, tic-tac-toe is borderline. I'd suggest Juli or Wir Sind Helden.

I sooooooo wish I could some how learn Ice Landic :( but that would be very hard to come by.

Anyways I personally suggest German. Thats what I went with, and he we both come from the same State :). I admitt im biased because I love Germany, Germans, German Cars, German Military, German Flecktarn(:p), German Anything.

Besides isnt it the EU's official language?(or one of them I think). And its becoming very popular in Egypt. And if something i spopular its Egypt it will be more widely used(that is, in the case of the rest of the middle east)

Also, German's damn easy to learn if you know any Old English.

I tried spanish (could pick it in my 3rd year instead of French) and failed. Then again the teacher couldn't maintain order so it was like a playground. We got to chapter 3 or something in 6 months. :rofl:

All member states' languages are official in the EU.

Huffardo: good job advertising Finland in positive light, I'm sure we will get many tourists now.

We traveled to denmark with our sailboat once, i'll never set foot in scandinavia again! :p
j/k.
It was beautiful, although i think norway or finland would be more beautiful, but the weather was dreadful, and the german coastguard kept on bullying us...So, not the best holidays i've had. :p

Thanks, I try my best. =p

Got to mention Finland is a very beautiful and safe place to travel in, just don't mind that Dutchman who was stabbed to death in June.

I guess I better shut up now, never been that good at the stuff where you are supposed to deceive people, i.e. advertising...

Finland sounds nice guys!!

I am pretty sure I want to make a stop in at least one of the countries that I am decedent of; Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Poland (no jokes please lol), or at least the ones I am sure of

The German... coast guard?
This calls for a Youtube!

You probably have two options

french or german

due to their importance

And keep your distance from czech, trust me on that

French was important like 100 years ago, now it's english and spanish. ;)

Im starting to learn japanese, but only because I plan on living there for a year or 2 when I'm Older, But here in Canada french is probably the second most common language next to english. Depends how your gonna use it guess.

A lot of people consider German to be rather difficult. Lots of confusing rules and even more exceptions.
What's important is that you have a proper motivation to learn, then even a difficult language will be easy to learn. For example, it helps a lot if you like the sound of the language. Listen to songs, watch movies and read literature in the language you are interested in.

Silly Germans...

Wait, they arent supposed to be in Denmark?

I surrender!

Where are some places to visit in Sweden?

Stockholm. hmm.. malmö

but sweden generally sucks, dont go there ;)

You're telling me, I speak dutch and I'm still having major difficulties with it :/
Still, I'm gonna study it next year in college. I feel like I'm signing my own dead warrant.

Heh, for a while we were sailing along the border...
I remember my dad joking to the very serious controller that he couldn't enter the cabin yet because the €500 were still drying after the printing...
Silly german, he didn't really find it amusing... It was Priceless...


Hey, you live in Malmö or what?

What are you going to study?

hey germans and humor are still not that bad compared to austrians...

What about Norway?

Lol, that just makes it better. :lol:

nah I live in Jutland (the part of denmark just under norway) under the nose

After much, much, much doubting I've chosen for linguistics. English, Dutch and German. The obvious reason why I chose for linguistics is English, I needed to chose three languages though, so I picked German as well.

Well, seeing as you already know spanish, Italian would be an easy learn, but you don't really like spanish to start with. If it were me, I'd want to learn German or Russian.
