European Language

[Rexxar]

First off, not sure if this is in the right place to post this...

I am Looking to learn a "useful" european language. German strikes me as one, purely because i travel there every other year and have yet to learn any of the language as the tourist areas speak such good english (better than some people here i should add! )

Is Russian viable to cover the likes of poland/bulgaria/czech , or has it faded out of previously occupied territories?

Any advice appreciated.

Forgot about Cryllic, that's gonna be a whole heap of fun to learn >.<

I want it for career prospects as to be honest, see the UK going downhill and my logic is, if we're being flooded, then i'll go the other way!

Is german understood well outside of Germany itself?

Thanks guys, think i'll give German a go then.

Know it's Hypocritical to be thinking of leaving the UK in response to an influx of migrant workers, but my time spent on the continent has shown German people to have much better manners, whether that's just the part i visited or not, i don't know...

Much better road manners and a polite nation in general i found.

Thanks for everyone's input, appreciated!
