"ambre" isn't in my spanish-english dictionary. Unless you meant to say hombre, in which case you're saying "I have a friend for water". A wise choice, as if you're in the desert, you can last by draining the water from your friend's body, which is composed of ~70% water.
ambre means hungry.

My bad people. The real word is supposed to be "hambre". That means hungry. Another one of my misspelled moments.

Spanish is for apathetic language learners. Or people that care about the language they learn being useful. Phooey!

What is that supposed to mean? You have something against Spanish?

Hey! Don't make fun of my people's language. Spanish is more of a common language than russian.
That's why apathetic people learn it. "Meh, I need to take a language. I'll just take the one everyone else takes." Why don't you spread your wings, and learn something crazy, man? Learn freaking srpski or something.

You're almost there. Now that you've learned a cool language, time to dive into something freaking crazy with a different alphabet. I dare you to learn Farsi.

I don't want learn languages that won't help me in my future career. That's is how all my family is learning languages. My brother alex (AKA Kirby is taking Japenesse so that way he could become a video game designer for Nintendo. We all eventually learn Spanish but we also take other languages other than our own culture's. What the hell is farsi?

Farsi is Persian, it uses the arabic alphabet. It's not a dead language. Anyway...
I see, so you just learn languages that are USEFUL. Lame. You wish you could say angry things in a slavic language at innocent people and have them call you a communist. Bakalakalahada!
Maybe I just have clearance to learn a useless language because I won't really need one for my career path. If there was a job that required me to learn Spanish, I would be all like "Aw, hell naw!" Learning languages for me is a hobby, not a necessity.

Learning languages at all is lazy. The real proactive people make up their own language with consistently applied rules that follow major trends in linguistics.

Learn a dead language. They're always high on the list for being both completely useless and highly respected.
possum Latinum dicere, ut altum apparem. mea grammatica fortasse pessima est.
Russian is a pretty awesome language but not quite as useless as Latin or Ancient Greek. You could also learn a made-up language, like Lojban, Klingon or Esperanto.

A lot of people learn Spanish not only because it's the #2 language in the US, but it's also one of the "easiest" languages to learn. (English is the hardest)

"easy" is no reason to do something
