Quote:The question would be which language. I think english is the worst choice, but it would appear that english is becoming quite prominent, though it is such an unstructured language. I would think something along the lines of spanish as the language is pronounced as it is spelled. The phonetic Korean alphabet looks OK for written language.

If he put his hat on his head, how many are there and who is wearing the hat?

Any language that rids the above sentence of the ambiguities would be the best choice.
English is really simple when it comes to grammar, vocabulary and comprehension, at least in my opinion. Learning English is currently the easiest choice.

Spanish is a pain to learn even if you speak a Latin-derived language. I have never managed to dominate Spanish and pronounce everything correctly and I speak Portuguese.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
