What should i learn slovak or swedish?

Swedish is much much easier, and is closely related to English. Slovak has 14 different noun declension forms (14x12 endings to learn) and difficult pronunciation. Furthermore you will find about twenty times more published learning materials for Swedish than for Slovak. But if you do learn Slovak your efforts will be greatly appreciated if you go to that country (this is not so true of Swedish). And Slovak girls are the prettiest in the world, so learning Slovak could give you an edge there :)

Swedish. More opportunities there. Wonderful country!

wouldn't it be better to learn a language that brings the most opportunities like mandarin... they will inherit the earth in 20-30 years.

obviously depends on your interests / needs. Most Swedes speak perfect English, but there are many more reasons to learn Swedish. Below are some reasons to learn NORWEGIAN, which you might be interested in. ----------------------------------- Norwegian is a great language to learn for (at least) these reasons 1. Fascinating historical development, including development of nynorsk. 2. Dialects are encouraged and rich 3. Great literature, much of which is not translated 4. Nobel peace prize is given out from Norway 5. primary source material in many fields like equality, social justice, human rights etc etc 6. a relatively easy in to Swedish (Swedish SOUNDS like Norwegian) and Danish (Danish LOOKS like Norwegian) 7. It sets you apart from the masses who have studied other languages (so our graduates tell us when they are out on the job market) Decide what your motivations are, your access to resources, your goals (since many Norwegian are almost perfect in English, travel isn't all that important). My website with lots of resources for learners of Norwegian is listed below.
