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?

If you don't know where you're going: French is probably the most wide spread after that.

I just (I mean an hour ago) gave up on learning japanese via Duo Lingo. On and off for years but didn't make considerable progress. I know about 20 hiragana symbols and a bit of vocabulary but I think I won't ever grasp order of words or how they communicate without plurals or genders. It's so different from germanic languages. I love the japanese culture but I just don't have the time anymore.

I instead started spanish. After a few lessons Duo Lingo rated me as a super learner. Don't know if it's because they want to sell me a subscription but I really flew through the lessons (even when I had to type out the sentences). I'll stay with it and will add dutch soon.
