Other than English and Spanish, what would be a very useful language to learn? (lemmy.ml)

If I could only learn one additional language, and I wanted to travel the world, what language would serve me best other than English or Spanish?

Since you're interested in traveling, I would say french. It is spoken in a very wide variety of countries all over the world, you have a lot of resources to learn it and it's related to the other languages to know. Other languages might have more speakers, but if youre just interested in the visiting a lot of wholly different places, it is probably the best one.

Lots of French loan words are also used by other languages.
