The 5 languages are chosen at random and doesn't include your native language. The odds of learning a certain language is based on the percentage of the people world wide who speak said language. For example, if 30% of the world's population speaks Mandarin then you have a 30% chance of learning that language. Which do you choose? The languages will also allow you to have the perfect accent for it as well.

Languages for sure. Especially since the randomness is weighted toward the most widely used languages, at least 3-4 of them would probably be immensely useful and could lead to some interesting careers.

Languages. That would really impress people. It would be French (because so many people speak it), Spanish (for the same reason), Mandarin (because it's so hard to learn), Latin (because this always makes a person look smart), and German (because living in Germany would be cool for me).

I'd take the ability if i can pick at least two of them. or at least give it a limit that only languages spoken by 1m+ people are picked.
too many languages exists. in Indonesia alone there are 300+ spoken language and only a few of them are actually important.

Yea but those languages are only spoken by like 0.001% of the world's population so it would be extremely unlikely that you get one of them.

Do you get the ability to be able to read at that level,too? You could make alot of money if the languages you get are popular, Chinese,Japanese,Spanish,Russian and Italian in edition to English would make you a highly desired teacher or private translater, you could even have a side hustle going translating doujins and non localized video games on the net if you knew how to type set as well.

I would choose:

English - native, doesnt count

Spanish - so many people speak it, plus its cool

French - many people speak it and it has some panache to it

Italian - its just so damned cool!

Mandarin - many people speak it and we may need to learn it anyway thanks to 45s incompetence

Japanese - another Asian language wouldnt hurt

Languages. Id be sure to at least get one or two common ones.

And Id hope that I got Japanese. Thatd be the most useful one for me, personally.

(One question, though: do we also learn all the swear words and how to use em? Thatd be fun)

And the odds of getting one of them are extremely low because nearly no one speaks it. Odds are the majority of the languages you learn will be one of the 10 most spoken languages in the world due to how the randomness is played out.

No because that's part of what makes them obscure.

I don't want to get some language spoken by 50 people in the Amazon rainforest, or even something like Irish which isn't exactly small but almost everyone who speaks it prefers English.

Well, you'd be surprised at the possibilities that may open up for you. Something as simple as being able to overhear a conversation in public where people aren't using their native language would enable you to be able to spy on people without them knowing. Would also be useful for international business and brokering deals.

And foreign accents garner a lot of attention in the dating world.
