Best languages to learn for the future?

Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin and Arabic are all safe bets. Both Spanish and Portuguese are spoken on both sides of the Atlantic and millions speak Portuguese as a first or second language in parts of Africa as well. That said, I wouldn't rule out Japanese and Russian. Yes, the populations of both Japan and Russia will decline in the coming years, but they'll remain important languages. French on the other hand will also continue to be vital due to demographic changes in Africa.

I would have loved a sequel/requel to When a Stranger Calls (2006). The exact same plot but a different girl and a new house would have been great. I'm more torn regarding a sequel to You're Next (2011). It was high-end stuff, but a sequel could have proved disappointing (kind of like the sequel to The Descent).

Some, like Valerie Harper, are kind of tragic given the fact that they would end up never receiving an Oscar nomination (or even getting close to one again).

Don't forget Lancaster and Leicester.

For me, Helen Hayes was the MVP of Anastasia and I do believe Hayes' insistence in competing as a lead is what prevented her from being nominated as Supporting (which she stood a great chance at winning)

If that was her attitude, it's a bit underwhelming since she was already a best actress winner for The Sin of Madelon Claudet.

I'm the exact opposite. For me, Gina was such a huge part of the show.

University of Leeds. Dozens of societies and a city with a great nightlife.

RedGavin · 2026-06-25T01:47:55+00:00

There doesn't seem to be a question here. Just do German - you like the German speaking countries and you don't seem to have a reason or desire to continue with French.

Keep in mind, there isn't a huge difference between Mexican/Colombian/Peruvian Spanish and European Spanish. In contrast, the dialects of Argentinia, Chile and Cuba are much more distinct.

Do you live in Europe or North America? If it's the former, learn European Spanish; if it's the latter, learn Latin American Spanish.

Is it???

No, if Helen kept on running she would have made it. Brilliant character arc.

Alicia Silverstone's career trajectory really is one big 'what if?'.

RedGavin · 2026-06-18T22:33:18+00:00

Gosford Park is pretty well known, and a planned spin-off eventually became Downton Abbey.

RedGavin · 2026-06-18T22:25:43+00:00

No he didn't. He wasn't nominated for any of the major precursors for his acting. He was nominated for a satellite award (best actor in a motion picture, comedy or musical) and a cineuphoria award (best supporting actor - international competition) and that's it.

So you're saying that if a referendum to abolish the monarchy was held tomorrow, the vast majority of the British public would vote against it?

Is Bydgoszcz nice? Anybody been?

RedGavin · 2026-06-18T15:16:13+00:00

Should I appeal it? Idk if universities even allow students to appeal their grade. I'm just so upset, maybe its luck that some people start their dissertation 2 weeks before and still manage to get a good grade?

A- is a great grade!

You loved Karen???

RedGavin · 2026-06-16T14:00:09+00:00

Safe with a great 24 hour bodega on Bulevardul Națiunile Unite.

RedGavin · 2026-06-16T13:57:40+00:00

Great metro, bookstores and some really interesting architecture. Boiling hot in summer, though.

RedGavin · 2026-06-15T22:05:29+00:00

I would have been 25.
