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?

    Kinda surprised that no one has mentioned sign language. I feel that it’s use cases expand outside the original intent, especially if other people in your circle understand it.

      But OP was asking about travelling the world. Sign language wouldn’t help with that.

      Sign language isn’t one language. There’s American Sign Language, British Sign Language, Australian Sign Language, Nigerian Sign Language, etc.

      American Sign Language and British Sign Language are completely unintelligible to each other.

        That’s a good point. I guess I just read the title and everyone else’s comments saying stuff like “Python” and “TypeScript”
