  1. How is Spanish not on this list? Europe, North America, South America — all have huge Spanish-speaking customer bases. I thought that'd be an obvious number 1.?

  2. Great video. Are there language jobs where you can make six figures early on or within a reasonable timeframe? It’s not all about the money, but even my software engineering friends can’t afford a house in Jacksonville, Florida. As such, I am a Computer Science/Data Science major. The city has a large Slavic population.

  3. As someone who is learning French and Japanese although Japanese a bit more seriously, I take this as a win for my opportunities. Also I know quite a bit of Russian since I'm Russian and hear it everyday, although I don't speak it, I plan on furthering my knowledge in it later

  4. My problem with learning portuguese is that, being spanish myself, I can easily get by in Portugal without actually knowing the language. I can read anything (fiction books included) no problem, I can understan and make myself understood quite easily… Like everything that motivates me to learn a language I can already do decently enough. Same problem with italian.

  5. “Because I know my chickens” in Italian means when you are close to someone you know well, and certainly you know how to deal with them, understating their own behavior. In the most of cases when you’re able to foretell the actions of the person you’re dealing with, hence you can depict it as it really is

  6. Olly, great video! American, here. German is my only fluent language other than my native 'Murikan, 😏.
    I have had just some basic courses in Spanish and French, with a sprinkle of exposure to continental Portuguese and to Dutch. I was very intrigued by what you said about Dutch, because as a speaker of both English and German, Dutch completes the western Germanic trio, as far as major lanuages.
    The Hindi bit about having to learn to distinguish 4 different "D" and 4 different "T" sounds genuinely intimidated me away from trying to learn some Hindi, but it has to be interesting linquistically to study the Indo-European linguistic connections.

    I find my language-learning motivation perpetually split between diving ever deeper into German vs trying to improve my Spanish basic comprehension.
    I get why Spanish did not make this specific list, but for Americans, it may not be the most profitable, but IS the most utilitarian. And it is simply beautiful. Arguably the most musical of languages.

  7. Still hoping you'll make a deep video about Finnish. 😅 But anyway; I've been learning German on and off since I was a teenager. Maybe someday I'll tackle Dutch too, since my heritage language is a mix of German and Dutch.

  8. I'm sick and tired of people telling me that I should learn French and Japanese. Both stereotypes are very toxic and offensive and I don't wanna be associated with them, and both languages sound very unpleasant on top of them being impossible to master already.

  9. I love it that you recommended Hindi—one out of hundreds of languages of my country India. However, before everybody gets all gung-ho and starts investing real time and money learning it, a quick fact-check might be appropriate.

    Now it's true that Bollywood movies often cast a White male who speaks bad Hindi as the token villain. But such roles are few and far between—and they don't pay as well as you're probably hoping. So if that's your main reason for wanting to learn Hindi, I'd advice against it. However, if you're a sexy White female who's willing to dance wearing the legal minimum amount of clothing, then you do stand a good chance of getting cast in a Bollywood movie.

    Another thing—pure Hindi is rarely spoken nowadays. Most people—including all the "Hindi" examples in this video—speak Hinglish, which is English vocabulary with Hindi grammar. Hindi doesn't have native words for any modern technology.

    Techies everywhere in India speak English. Particularly so in Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), where the state's official language is Kannada, not Hindi.

  10. Brazil has its own German dialect, called Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, or Hunsrik for short. It's spoken in Rio Grande do Sul, não do Norte. AFAIK those are the farthest apart south and north states in the world.

  11. Fluent speaker of Japanese as a Nonjapanese here. I would like to add that in six years in Japan and more than 20 years of interpreting and translating from and into Japanese as a non male person, it is not as easy as depicted in this video to be hired let alone accepted or respected if you are not a man. I was constantly undepaid if paid at all, had to work unpaid overtime, and was used and abused for all and everything, my free time entirely controlled by my bosses, including whom i was allowed to meet and trying to marry me off. Even sexual pleasures were expected. Meanwhile i had no rights at all, not even of an nonsmoking office, let alone less than seven days works a week or a week without having to work through the night less than three nights a week. No vacations either, only mandated visits at set times to set places, i had no say whatsoever. Blackmailing, racism, humiliation and even physical punishment were regular. I had to return most of my salary to my bosses in order not to be fired. They threatened firing me constantly. I can only warn any person who is not male to never work for the Japanese! I am damaged for life! Lost all my money, my health and my future!
