French was more useful to me. Our state shares a border with Canada and my own extended family on my mom's side is Quebecois.

Or for speaking with sub-populations, Arabic would probably be the most useful here. US =/= California and the South

Spanish is the most commonly spoken non-English language in all but a few states, not just the sun belt.

Yeah I'm in a city in a mid Atlantic state and it's Spanish by a country mile here
