Most Important Language

No wonder people 'round the globe agree that english is the lucky number 1 language of the world. But meanwhile, a doctor namely Dr. Argilleas told that an educated person should masters at least 6 language! O my...
So, what's the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on?
The category likeky fall into "most important" & "most used" language. For the last one, of course it'll very relate to the dweller amount of certain language speaking countries that means the more inhabitant the higher rank. In this case even English beated by Chinese with 3 billion speaker widely spread over continens. The 2nd chart sure placed by English.
Well, I think it isn't interesting to look at that point of view. So let's check it with "most important" approach. According to some sources, English will still lead the way as an international language even 'till 2025, or more. Majority say that the 2nd place would taken by Mandarin due to the rapid economic growth & remarkable population. Then, for the next 3, I'm sure there's no absolute answer. Almost all assumtion range between Spanish, French, & Japanese. Some also mull about Germany, Arabic, Hindi and several other.

To choose which is suit us. Let see remark of main assumption. Out there, are exist approximately 21 Spanish speaking countries. Tens of them are in Europe and other in North America (Mexico, Peru), Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador), and more. Spanish just like 2nd language in USA. If you understand Spanish, just try out Latin & Italian, because it so similiar. Learn it not as difficult as other, we just read the words as what we see, don't need certain technique or accent like French, Mandarin, & the weird Russian.

But we also have to consider French, the softes & romantic language, also tourism language.What Napoleon did made French being the official language in about 30 countries encompassing Europe, Africa and America. For example Switzerland, Belgium & Canada. French native speaker called francophonie. Perhap the difficult thing 'bout French is to adapt our tongue to form the accent.

Ok. The next is Japanese. Many opinion write that perhap Japanese is the most atracting & curious to learn. Individual passion. Hmm, influenced by manga & RPG game maybe? :-)
Overall 130 million people speak japanese and the leading technology Japan is the one and only country that speaks Japanese.

Well yeah, it's so sick to know that I'm only fluent in Bahasa Indonesia.. and Javanese. Hiks.
