In school I was forced to take Spanish in elementary school and forced to take a French in junior High School. I hated it!  I was bad at it and had no desire to learn another language.Today,   I still feel the same way.  I speak English. Good enough for me.

I can speak a little spanish to get me around, and enough french to read instructions, lol. But I would like to learn Japanese

Considering China's population, the top of the list doesn't surprise me.  I never had the opportunity to learn it early on.

English of course.  My second language isn't on the list  but I can understand some Russian because of it. I woudn't starve of be able to find a bathroom in Spanish but my conversation would be laughable.

It's a shame that second and third languages are not taught in most grade schools in this country.  Young minds are fertile.

Took Spanish in college.  Can't speak a word of it.  I would like to take on another language, but no plans to do so at this time.

I studied Spanish and Latin in school.  I wish I was more studious in high school so I could remember more today.

I studied French in H.S. and college (definitely not my best subject) and I lived in Germany for eight years and can speak some.  Surprisingly, my un peu francaise has been surprisingly helpful over the years.  As stated before, it's a romance language and has some of same or similar root words as Spanish and Italian so sometimes I can read parts of signs of instructions and logic out what it is.  I have travelled widely so every little bit of communication helps.
