Other than English and Spanish, what would be a very useful language to learn? (lemmy.ml)

If I could only learn one additional language, and I wanted to travel the world, what language would serve me best other than English or Spanish?

You say “travel the world,” but where realistically will you travel? Westerners tend to travel almost exclusively to other imperial core countries and to popular tourist spots in the periphery that cater to imperial core tourists.

Realistically, not India/Pakistan. Other than that I will likely hit the Americas, Europe, Oceania, Thailand, Vietnam, Shanghai, Singapore, maybe South Korea, Japan, UAE, Morrocco for sure, Turkey, etc. So, quite a bit I hope.
