What language do they speak in the UK? Is it Latin?

[Mark Baker]

1. I recommend learning French

While speaking English is a superficially attractive option, as soon as we hear you're American we'll just assume you're ignorant anyway.

If you try French you'll find most of us can remember enough from school to give you simple directions or to serve you in a restaurant, but we'll be struggling so much we probably won't even notice that your French isn't that great either.

Hope that helps.
