Obviously French is important, at least in Eastern Canada. I am sending my girl to a French school next year as we currently live in Quebec.
But I would like to introduce her at a young age to at least one other language that will provide value.
I was thinking Mandarin or Japanese, although both might be difficult. I am also wondering if Japanese still carries the same value these days as it did in the 80s and 90s. I also thought about Arabic, but I heard it is extremely difficult.
I was also thinking German, and from what I have been told, it tends to be easier for an English speaker to learn.
Does Russian carry much wait these days?
I speak Croatian/Serbian, albeit at probably a junior highschool level, but honestly, I don't see it was hugely valuable for her to invest a lot of time in.

The 2 most difficult languages in the world are Mandarin and Finnish.
I would go with German.
