I want to learn 5 diffrent languages together,which group is the best ?

What makes you think that you can learn 5 languages AT ONCE?

where does it say "at once"?

Spanish is spoken by many millions of people in the western hemisphere, as well as in Spain. French is spoken by many millions of people in Africa, as well as in Europe (France, Belgium, Switzerland). German is not as widely spoken, but it is a language of business, industry and scientific and technical journals, but i don't know if you would have any use for that. Japanese makes sense for business reasons; Korean arguably makes sense for business reasons, although much less so. Japanese and Korean, by the way, are Altaic languages, and are not similar to Chinese. Russian might be useful, just because it was the language of hundreds of millions of people in the days of the Soviet Union.

For what purpose do you want to learn these languages? For business, for academic purposes? It would help to know why you want to learn several langauges.

I would go Latin, Greek, Spanish, Italian and French if you want to actually have a chance at success.

Doesn't the group of languages that is "best" depend on who you want to speak with?

sure if you were trying to be a boy buggering (greek) catholic priest (latin, spanish, italian, french)

I see where McGentrix is going with this -- similar languages are easier to learn together.

I would scratch Latin (a dead language) and Greek (a linguistic outlier in this set).

I would replace them with Portuguese and Romansh,

French, Spanish and Catalan make a good mix; I learned those languages in that order. Over 15 years. If there have to be five, then Italian and Portuguese are possible, but this is really a lifetime's task. I doubt very much that anybody truly has the power to truly learn 5 languages fluently without living and travelling extensively in the countries where they are spoken. (I'm not talking about getting a superficial notion of grammar and syntax from books.) I speak as a language teacher of 35 years experience.

Well, fan me with a blowtorch. This was my month to learn something new.

thank you very much. I love languages, and just want to grab and know some diffrent cultures, make some friends. and I also want to do some business ,so learning languages as many as i can will be of great help.

Greek may be hard to deal with.

I believe in you. I learned English for 15 years and I will spend a lifetime's treasure to know it.

I can understand every language in the world except Greek.

Yeah, but Chinese is Greek to you..

I just learned it myself recently, within the last several years. I've now read it in more than one source. In the 19th century, when reliable archaeological evidence was not available, and genetic evidence was not available, the relationships of peoples was determined by linguistic and cultural identities. As far as i know, the origin of those languages is confirmed, but there remains some doubt about just from where and when the Koreans and the Japanese appeared. No one, of course, knows how they ended up where they did.

M0re the languages more the varsatility...

German Spanish Arabic Japanese French wuld be good.

It should be: German, Japanese, France, Chinsese, Spain. You can go all over the world with these languages. But I think you will be so old to do that

English is used by air traffic controllers, worldwide. That gives me a clue that English ought to be in there, somewhere.

It goes without saying, but it goes better saying it..
