every cross road junction will lead you somewhere...if you can see the future then no point asking us...
Let us ask you..are you good in chinese? If not, jap is out for you bro.
language is more than A,B,C and you need to understand the culture, history to make it effective. -
Malay la. After learning it, you can practise it constantly too so that you won't forget.... Convenient too when you travel around Malaysia. More practical choice.
Even in SG, you'll get plenty of chances to practise the language so your effort to learn it will not be wasted when you forget due to a lack of practice.....

Since you mention practical application of learning a foreign language, I will assume that your preference in terms of the 3 are equal.Originally posted by vice_edge:hey , im in water tech course in np ... now but i wan to pick up a language but im spoilt for choice ,french malay or jap ?

Malay: A good regional language as our closest neighbors are Malaysia and Indonesia. Given the water-treaty agreement between Singapore and Malaysia, perhaps a good grasp of the language would put you on par with the Malaysian-born Chinese that are in the fields of Water Technology?
Japanese: A somewhat less useful language as the Japanese language is predominantly used in Japan only and rarely conversed outside its borders.
French: A secondary linguistic option to be considered besides English, in terms of the European context. Do bear in mind that even though English IS the most widely used language for instruction, major European powers like the French and Germans still prefer to use their own language for conversing. Learning French would definitely be a useful tool and advantage should you consider getting hired by a European-based firm that has its operations in Singapore/Asia. -
another thing to note of is the industry you are heading....any opportunity in Japan, Japanese clients, etc...
But more importantly is still your aptitude. CMC x2. -
jap .. its good
-
Learning a language takes years, especially to master it well.
If you don't even have the interest in it, then, no point learning it! -
since you've only 3 options french malay jap
i guess malay will be good
if spanish's available i'd take spanish, can use in alot of countries
also, you dont have to listen to ple's opinions....
which interest u most amongst the 3? -
used to be jap .. malay ok bah .... my chinese A2 ... lol
