I don't really wanna use it everyday (i.e. SPANISH). I want something that sounds cool and would impress the chicks.
I'm thinking Italian. |

Depends on which chicks you want to impress.
I still think nothing impresses like French.
Italian is better if you are Italian or look Italian and want to pretend to be a Pizon.
If you look Brazilian or are Brazilian then maybe Portugese.
If you dig the Asian chicks and like to party in the SGV on the weekends maybe Mandarin would be the better choice. _________________ Let the PAB hold out 2 years and walk without his Bird rights if he chooses.

If you become fluent in Italian, it's close enough that people speaking Spanish will be able to understand you. If Italian is available to take, I'd definitely take that over Spanish. |

Any chick impressed by that is probably wearing birkenstocks and does not shave her legs or pits.
No thanks.
Something similar for Swahili or Quechua. Unless of course you happen to run into an African or Incan chick.
Thinking of picking up a little Icelandic and spending a month next summer in Reykjavik. _________________ Let the PAB hold out 2 years and walk without his Bird rights if he chooses.

Japanese - You can impress chicks with Haiku's from Master's such as Basho, and Buson
OR
Persian - Definitely pimp the ladies with Rumi, or Hafez. Greatest. Poetry. Ever.
Some languages to avoid....IMO....Russian, and Arabic.....talk about Harsh on the ears dude. |

I second that. ASL is fun and relatively easy to learn. |
